Calculate the change in ph when 71.0 ml of a 0.760 m solution of naoh is added to 1.00 l of a solution that is 1.0o m in sodium acetate and 1.00 m in acetic acid.

Explanation:

It is known that value of acetic acid is 4.74. And, relation between pH and is as follows.

                    pH = pK_{a} + log

                          = 4.74 + log

So, number of moles of NaOH = Volume × Molarity

                                                   = 71.0 ml × 0.760 M

                                                    = 0.05396 mol

Also, moles of   = moles of

                                          = Molarity × Volume

                                          = 1.00 M × 1.00 L

                                          = 1.00 mol

Hence, addition of sodium acetate in NaOH will lead to the formation of acetic acid as follows.

Initial :    1.00 mol                                  1.00 mol

NaoH addition:               0.05396 mol

Equilibrium : (1 - 0.05396 mol)    0           (1.00 + 0.05396 mol)

                    = 0.94604 mol                       = 1.05396 mol

As, pH = pK_{a} + log

               = 4.74 +  log

               = 4.69

Therefore, change in pH will be calculated as follows.

                         pH = 4.74 - 4.69

                               = 0.05

Thus, we can conclude that change in pH of the given solution is 0.05.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
