Question

A 0.1 M sodium acetate solution was prepared. The Kh = 5.6 × 10-10

Options

A.The degree of hydrolysis is 7.48 × 10-5
B.The [OH-] concentration is 7.48 × 10-3 M
C.The [OH-] concentration is 7.48 × 10-6 M
D.The pH is approximately 8.88.

Solution

CH3COO- + H2O  CH3COOH + OH-.
0.1 (1 - h)                0.1 h           0.1 h.
Kh = = 0.1 h2  ⇒  5.6 × 10-10 = 0.1 h2
⇒   h = 7.48 × 10-5        [∴ h <<<< 1]
[OH-] = ch = 7.48 × 10-5 × 10-1 = 7.48 × 10-6.
[H+] = = 1.33 × 10-9.
⇒  pH = 8.8 approx.
