Vinegar is a commercial form of acetic acid, HC2H3O2 (aq). One sample vinegar has a pH value of 2.4. State the pH value of a sample that has ten times fewer hydronium ions than an equal volume of a vinegar sample with a pH value of 2.4.

Respuesta :

3.41 is  the pH value of a sample that has ten times fewer hydronium ions than an equal volume of a vinegar sample with a pH value of 2.4.

Explanation:

pH of the first sample of acetic acid = 2.4

to know the [H+] concentration in the acetic acid solution, the equation used is:

pH = -log [H+]

[H+] = [tex]10^{-pH}[/tex]

[H+] = [tex]10^{-2.4}[/tex]

[H+]  = 3.98 X [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] M

The concentration of H+ ion in first case is 3.98 X [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] M, the second sample has ten times less hydronium ion so concentration of first case is divided by 10.

3.98 x [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M

Now pH of the sample having 10 times fewer ions of acetic acid:

pH = -log [H+]

putting the values in the above equation:

pH = -log [3.98 x [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M]

pH = 3.41

If solution has ten times less hydronium ion the pH will change to 3.41.

3.41 is the pH value of a sample that has ten times fewer hydronium ions. pH gives the concentration of Hydronium ion.

What information we have:

pH of the first sample of acetic acid = 2.4

Calculation for [H+] concentration:

To know the [H+] concentration in the acetic acid solution, the equation used is:

[tex]pH = -log [H^+]\\\\H^+ = 10^{-pH}\\\\H^+ = 10^{-2.4}\\\\H^+ = 3.98 *10^{-4} M[/tex]

The concentration of H+ ion in first case is [tex]3.98 *10^{-4} M[/tex], the second sample has ten times less hydronium ion so the concentration of first case is divided by 10.

[tex]3.98 *10^{-4} M[/tex],

Now pH of the sample having 10 times fewer ions of acetic acid:

pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log [ [tex]3.98 *10^{-4} M[/tex],]

pH = 3.41

If the solution has ten times less hydronium ion the pH will change to 3.41.
