A500 ml solution of 0.10 m acetic acid (pka 4.76) is at ph 4.94. what is the ratio of conjugate base to acid or a–/ha?

Answer : The ratio of the conjugate base to acid is 1.513.

Solution :

Given data,

pH = 4.94

pKa = 4.76

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used as follows:

  .........(1)

Substitute the given values in equation (1) , we get the ratio of conjugated base to acid :

Thus , the answer is 1.513.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
