Sodium benzoate (c6h5coona), the sodium salt of the weak acid benzoic acid, is used as a food preservative. a solution is prepared by dissolving 0.100 mol of sodium benzoate in enough pure water to produce 1.00 l of solution. if the pka for benzoic acid is 4.20, calculate the ph of the sodium benzoate solution.

8.6

Explanation:

Using the expression :

Where, is the dissociation constant of water.

At ,

Thus, for benzoic acid , pKa = 4.20

Thus,

for Sodium benzoate can be calculated as:

The benzoate ion will dissociate as:-

expression is:-

Given that:-

Moles = 0.100 moles

Volume = 1.00 L

Thus, Concentration = 0.100/ 1.00 M = 0.1 M

Considering the ICE table in the image below.

So,

Solving for x, we get that,

Thus,

Also,

Also, pH + pOH = 14  

So, pH = 14 - 5.4 = 8.6

The correct answer is c. orbital shape. "the angular momentum quantum number l describes the shape of an orbital. it corresponds to each orbital type, i.e. (0,1,2,−1)=(s,p,d,f,g,"

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.
