Calculate the ph of a 0.800 m kbro solution. ka for hypobromous acid, hbro, is 2.0 × 10-9.

KBrO is produced by reaction of a strong base (KOH) with a weak acid (HBrO).

KOH + HBrO ==> KBrO + H2O

This salt, when diisoved in H2O, produce an alkaline solution (produced from a STRONG base). Since OH- is produced, this is a Kb problem.

Kb BrO- = Kw / Ka HBrO = (1 x 10^-14) / (2.0 x 10^-9) = 5.0 x 10^-6

Kb = [HBrO][OH-] / [BrO-] = (x)(x) / (0.800 - x) = 5.0 x 10^-6

Since Kb is small compared to 0.800, we can neglect the -x term to simplify the calculation.

x^2 / 0.800 = 5.0 x 10^-6

x^2 = 4.0 x 10^-6

x = 2 x 10^-3 = [OH-]

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log (2.0 x 10^-3) = 2.69

pH + pOH = 14.00

pH = 14.00 - pOH = 14.00 - 2.69 = 11.3

b) nuclear ive learned that in a pedtrodic table

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
