Performance Task

Consists of six questions

QUESTION 1:

Since we have the hydronium ion we just need to use this formula 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(𝐻3𝑂 +) now we’ll substitute
−4
𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(3. 5 * 10 ) so the answer is PH= 3.45

QUESTION 2:

We’ll follow the same formula which is 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(𝐻3𝑂 +). Using substitution, the PH value of HCl will be
found. 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(3). The final answer is PH= - 0.47.

QUESTION 3:

This question needs more steps first you have the value of POH and then you will use another formula to find the
−3
PH. 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔[𝑂𝐻 −]. Now we need to substitute, 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(2 * 10 )which is equal to
𝑃𝑂𝐻 = 2. 69. To find the PH, we need to use this formula 𝑃𝐻 + 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = 14we need to substitute POH so it
will be 𝑃𝐻 + 2. 69 = 14 then solve the equation 𝑃𝐻 = 11. 31.

QUESTION 4:

This question is tricky. You need to use a lot of formulas since the value of M wasn’t given. First step we need to
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
find the moles so we’ll use 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 = 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠
We have a mass which is 5.3 grams but we need to find the molar
mass using the periodic table NaOH. We have 3 elements Na + O + H. The mass of H=1.008, Na=22.99, and
O=15.999 if you add them together the total will be 39.997 g/mol. Since we found the molar mass we’ll proceed to
5.3𝑔
find the moles 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 = 39.997𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙
= 0. 1325 𝑚𝑜𝑙. The next step is to find the molarity using
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 0,1325𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑠
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒(𝐿)
substitute in the formula 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 1.5𝐿
= 0. 0883 𝑀. We found the value of M
now we’ll use𝑃𝑂𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔[𝑂𝐻 −]. We’ll substitute 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔[0. 0883]so 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = 1. 054. The last step
is to find the PH using 𝑃𝐻 + 𝑃𝑂𝐻 = 14. substitute 𝑃𝐻 + 1. 054 = 14 then solve the equation
𝑃𝐻 = 12. 946.
QUESTION 5:

We’ll use 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(𝐻3𝑂 +). It will be 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(0. 005) so the PH is 2.3

QUESTION 6:

𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 0.29 𝑚𝑜𝑙

We need to find the molarity so we’ll use 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒(𝐿)
it will be 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 5𝐿
= 0. 058𝑀.
𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(𝐻3𝑂 +)we substitute 𝑃𝐻 = − 𝑙𝑜𝑔(0. 058)= 1.2 the value of PH is 1.2
