a. pH is 2,88

b. pH is 8,87

Explanation:

a. Acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂) dissociates in water thus:

HC₂H₃O₂ ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H⁺; Ka = 1,8x10⁻⁵

ka =  [C₂H₃O₂⁻] [H⁺] / [HC₂H₃O₂] (1)

When you have a solution of 0,10M HC₂H₃O₂, the concentrations in equilibrium are:

[HC₂H₃O₂] = 0,10M - x

[C₂H₃O₂⁻] = x

[H⁺] = x

Replacing in (1)

1,8x10⁻⁵ = x² / 0,10 - x

1,8x10⁻⁶ - 1,8x10⁻⁵x = x²

x²+ 1,8x10⁻⁵x - 1,8x10⁻⁶ = 0

Solving for x:

x = - 0,00135067 -No physical sense, there are not negative concentrations-

x = 0,00133267  -Real answer-

As x = [H⁺] = 0,00133267

pH = -log [H⁺]

Thus, pH is 2,88

b. Sodium acetate (NaC₂H₃O₂) dissociates in water thus:

NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻ + Na⁺; Kb = 5,6x10⁻¹⁰

ka =  [HC₂H₃O₂] [OH⁻] / [NaC₂H₃O₂] (1)

When you have a solution of 0,10M NaC₂H₃O₂, the concentrations in equilibrium are:

[NaC₂H₃O₂] = 0,10M - x

[HC₂H₃O₂] = x

[OH⁻] = x

Replacing in (1)

5,6x10⁻¹⁰ = x² / 0,10 - x

5,6x10⁻¹¹ - 5,6x10⁻¹⁰x = x²

x²+ 5,6x10⁻¹⁰x - 5,6x10⁻¹¹ = 0

Solving for x:

x = -7,48359×10⁻⁶ -No physical sense, there are not negative concentrations-

x = 7,48303×10⁻⁶  -Real answer-

As x = [OH⁻] = 7,48303×10⁻⁶

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

pOH is 5,13. As 14 = pH + pOH

pH = 8,87

I hope it helps!

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
