Question

what would be the h+ concentration of 0.006 M benzoic acid is

Answer 1

Answer : The concentration of hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ is 0.006 M.

Explanation :

The formula of benzoic acid is, $C_6H_5COOH$

When benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$ dissociates then it gives benzoate ion $(C_6H_5COO^-)$ and hydrogen ion $(H^+)$.

As we are given that the concentration of benzoic acid is, 0.006 M.

The dissociation reaction will be:

$C_6H_5COOH\rightarrow C_6H_5COO^-+H^+$

From this we conclude that,

0.006 M benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$ dissociates to give 0.006 M benzoate ion $(C_6H_5COO^-)$ and 0.006 M hydrogen ion $(H^+)$.

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ is 0.006 M.
