What is the ph of 0.51 m ca(ch3coo)2 solution?

Answer : The pH of calcium acetate solution will be 9.38.

Explanation : When calcium acetate dissocates completely in solution to form Calcium(+2) ions and two acetate ions, this gives the acetate ion concentration as (2 X 0.51 M) = 1.02 M

Acetate ion then hydrolyzes as follows;

:

Now, Kb will be = /

= Kw / Ka

= 1 x / 1.8 x = 5.6 ×

= 2.4 ×

Now, we know , pOH = -log = 4.62

So, the pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4.62 = 9.38

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
