Explain why a sample of pure water at 40 °C is neutral even though [H3O+] = 1.7 × 10−7 M. Kw is 2.9 × 10−14 at 40 °C.
Calculate the pH at 25 °C of a 0.23 M solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Note that hypochlorous acid (HCIO) is a weak acid with a pK, of 7.50. a Round your answer to 1 decimal place. pH = 0 ?
Over the past 250 years, the average upper-ocean pH near the Pacific Northwest has decreased by about 0.1 units, from about 8.2 to 8.1. This drop in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%. When CO2 levels in seawater rise, the availability of carbonate ion, CO32−,  This makes it more difficult for marine organisms to build and maintain shells and  other body parts from calcium carbonate. Calculate H3O+ and OH− concentrations at pH levels of 8.2 and 8.1. Demonstrate by calculations that this decrease in pH corresponds to an increase in acidity of about 30%. Explain the relationship between the pH of seawater and the availability of carbonate ion. Does the change in pH from 8.2 to 8.1 result in an increase or decrease in the availability            of carbonate ion?
