Captain X of a ship has been told by his superiors that only a chemist can be trusted with the combination to the safe containing the dilithium crystals that power the ship. The combination is the pH of solution A, described below, followed by the pH of solution C. (example: If the pH of solution A is 3.47 and that of solution C is 8.15, then the combination to the safe is 3-47-8-15). The chemist must determine the combination using only the information below (all sol'n are at 25C)
Sol'n A is 50mL of a .100M solutionof the weak monoprotic acid HX
Sol'n B is a .0500M solution of the salt NaX. It has a pH of 10.02
Sol'n C is made by adding 15mL of .25 M KOH to solution A
What is the combination of the safe?
