The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of solutions that have a pH less than 7 at 25°C, we will analyze each solution provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing HCl:** - HCl is a strong acid that completely dissociates in solution. - Therefore, any concentration of HCl will result in a pH less than 7. - **Conclusion:** HCl contributes to a pH < 7. 2. **Analyzing NH4Cl:** - NH4Cl is a salt formed from the weak base NH4OH and the strong acid HCl. - In solution, NH4+ ions will hydrolyze to produce H+ ions, making the solution acidic. - Therefore, the pH will be less than 7. - **Conclusion:** NH4Cl contributes to a pH < 7. 3. **Analyzing CH3COONa:** - CH3COONa is a salt formed from the weak acid acetic acid (CH3COOH) and the strong base NaOH. - In solution, the acetate ion (CH3COO-) will hydrolyze to produce OH- ions, resulting in a basic solution. - Therefore, the pH will be greater than 7. - **Conclusion:** CH3COONa does not contribute to a pH < 7. 4. **Analyzing B(OH)3:** - Boric acid (B(OH)3) acts as a weak acid in solution. - It can accept OH- ions, leading to the production of H+ ions, thus making the solution acidic. - Therefore, the pH will be less than 7. - **Conclusion:** B(OH)3 contributes to a pH < 7. 5. **Analyzing CH3COONH4:** - This salt is formed from acetic acid and ammonium hydroxide. - The K_a of CH3COOH is equal to K_b of NH4+, which means that the solution will be neutral. - Therefore, the pH will be equal to 7, not less than 7. - **Conclusion:** CH3COONH4 does not contribute to a pH < 7. ### Summary of Contributions: - HCl: pH < 7 (Yes) - NH4Cl: pH < 7 (Yes) - CH3COONa: pH > 7 (No) - B(OH)3: pH < 7 (Yes) - CH3COONH4: pH = 7 (No) ### Total Count of Solutions with pH < 7: Thus, the total number of solutions with pH less than 7 is **3** (HCl, NH4Cl, and B(OH)3). ---

To determine the total number of solutions that have a pH less than 7 at 25°C, we will analyze each solution provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing HCl:** - HCl is a strong acid that completely dissociates in solution. - Therefore, any concentration of HCl will result in a pH less than 7. - **Conclusion:** HCl contributes to a pH < 7. ...
