Respuesta :

1.6 X [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M is the [H] in a HC102 solution that has a pH of 3.78.

Explanation:

Given:

pH of the acid = 3.78

[H+] ion concentration = ?

The dissociation of the acid is shown as:

[tex]H^{+}[/tex] + [tex]ClO^{2-}[/tex] ⇔ HClO2

however, weak acid like HClO2 does not dissociate or ionize completely which causes low hydrogen ion release in the solution.

pH is calculated by applying the formula:

pH = - log [H+]

To calculate the H+ ion concentration the equation will be expressed as:

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

       = [tex]10^{-3.78}[/tex]

       = 1.6 X [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M

The concentration or molarity of the Hydrogen ion in the solution of the acid is  1.6 X [tex]10^{-4}[/tex] M.

The {H} in an HC102 solution that has a pH of 3.78 is 1.6*10^-4.

Calculation of the value of H:

Since

pH of the acid = 3.78

[H+] ion concentration = ?

Now the acid dissociation should be

H+ + ClO^2 = HCIO2

Here weak acid such as HClO2 does not dissociate or ionize completely which leads to low hydrogen ion release in the solution.

ph = -log{H+}

So,

{H+} = 10^-pH

= 10^-3.78

= 1.6*10^-4M
