1) Using a measured value of 1.78 pH, calculate the % dissociation of the 0.500 M dichloroacetic acid solution. Don't forget the correct sig figs.
2) Assume that you have a solution of AsCl3 with a concentration of 1 x 10-8 M. Assume the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL. The molas mass of AsCl3 is 181.28 g. Convert this concentration to ppb on a mass to mass basis.
Ans. #1. Step 1: Calculate Ka of acid as shown below-
# Step 2: Calculate % Dissociation as shown below-
# Hence, % Dissociation = 3.32 %
#2. [AsCl3], ppm = 1.81 x 10-3 ppm
