Trisodium phosphate, tsp, is available in hardware stores.
00:06
It has a chemical formula in e3, p .o4, and it's used as a cleaning agent.
00:13
The label warns that this is very basic and likely uses the words caustic or alkaline.
00:33
We are asked to find the ph with 35 .0 grams of tsp in one liter of solution.
00:48
So this will be pretty straightforward.
00:55
Let's first figure out the molarity, and we'll do that by taking our moles per liter.
01:09
We'll have to convert our moles, which is 35 .0 grams.
01:15
We only have one substance, so this is substance.
01:17
I'm going to leave it off to conserve space.
01:23
Multiply that by one mole, and the molar mass is 163 .9 grams.
01:30
I just cheat and look that up, dividing that by 1 .00 liters, equals 0 .2135.
01:40
And that will be to correct sig figs i go to three and this will be my p .04 concentration, p .o4 3 minus concentration.
01:56
Go there.
02:33
And this was, there it was, i couldn't find it, oh let's just go 214, that's good enough.
03:11
And this will be 0 .214 minus x.
03:14
So here are my three concentrations.
03:20
To find our kb, let's put some brighter colors here...
