Solution C is a 1.00 L buffer solution that is 1.420 M in acetic acid and 0.67 M in sodium acetate. Acetic acid has a pKa of 4.74. What is the pH change of this solution upon addition of 0.10100 mol of HCl? Enter a negative number to 3 decimal places.

The correct answer is 0.10.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, in a buffer solution of 1 liter, the molarity of acetic acid is 1.420 M and the molarity of sodium acetate is 0.67. The pKa value of acetic acid given is 4.74, now the pH of buffer is,  

pH of buffer = pKa + log ([CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH])

= 4.74 + log (0.67/1.420)

= 4.74 + (-0.326)

= 4.41  

Now 0.10100 mol of HCl is added, the HCl reacts with sodium acetate to give,  

CH3COONa + HCl = CH3COOH + NaCl

Now the concentration of CH3COONa becomes = 0.67-0.101 = 0.57 M, and the new concentration of CH3COOH becomes = 1.420 + 0.101 = 1.52 M

Now the new pH will be,  

= pKa + log (0.57/1.52)

= 4.74 + (-0.426)

= 4.31

The pH change is 4.41-4.31 = 0.10  

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

gas

explanation:

smoke is the matter of a gas
