What is the ph when 10.0 ml of 0.20 m potassium hydroxide is added to 30.0 ml of 0.10 m cinnamic acid, hc9h7o2 (ka = 3.6 × 10–5) 4.74 9.26 1.60 12.40

-

Solution:- As is clear from the given Ka value, Cinnamic acid is a weak acid. let's calculate the moles of acid and KOH added to it from their given molarities and mL.

For KOH,  

= 0.002 mol

For Cinnamic acid,  

= 0.003 mol

Acid and base react as:

The reaction takes place in 1:1 mol ratio. Since the moles of acid are in excess, the acid is still remaining when all the kOH is used.

0.002 moles of KOH react with 0.002 moles of Cinnamic acid to form 0.002 moles of potassium cinnamate. Excess moles of Cinnamic acid = 0.003 - 0.002 = 0.001

As the solution have weak acid and it's salt(or we could say conjugate base), it is a buffer solution and the pH of the buffer solution could easily be calculated using Handerson equation:

pKa could be caluted from given Ka value using the formula:

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.44

let's plug in the values in Handerson equation and calculate the pH:

pH = 4.44+0.30

pH = 4.74

So, the first choice is correct, pH is 4.74.

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
