Answer 1

9.

$$pH = -log[H^+] = 14 - log[OH^-]$$

$$[OH^-] = c(OH^-) = n(OH^-)/V$$

$$[OH^-] = {m(Ca(OH)_2) \over M(Ca(OH)_2V} = {0.0124 \over 74.093*0.5} = 0.000335$$

$$pH = 14-3.47 = 10.53$$

10.

$$[OH^-] = 10^{-pOH} = 10^{-(14-pH)}$$

$$[OH^-] = 10^{-(14-4.80)} = 10^{-9.20} = 1.58*10^{-10}$$

11. 8 and is base

12.

$$[H^+] = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-3.7} = 0.0002$$

$$k_a = \alpha^2c = (0.0002)^2*0.02 = 8*10^{-10}$$

13.

$$pH \approx 10^{-0.050} = 0.89$$

14.

$$pH \approx 10^{-0.3} = 14 - 0.50 = 13.50$$

16.

$$k_a = \alpha^2c = 0.059^20.10 = 0.00035$$
