An organic acid(HA) has a molecular weight of 100. g mol^-1, a Kow=5.6 and a Ka=2.7x10^-2. If originally 2.0g of the acid is dissolved in 100mL of octanol (there is no dissociation in octanol), which is then placed in contact with 100mL of water, what will be the pH of the water? (consider the equilibrium processes to be sequential and unrelated chemically)

You are studying a clear solution and you added the pH indicator methyl violet. The colour range of the indicator methyl violet in a clear solution when changing from acidic to basic is yellow (pH 0) to blue purple (pH 1) to violet (pH 2). You initial pH of the solution when tested with a pH meter is O.2. You are going to add 250 drops of 0.1 M HCI. Please select the most appropriate answers to the following two questions. What is the initial colour of the solution at pH 0.2? What is the colour of the solution and what will the pH be after the addition of the HCI? Select 2 correct answer(s) The colour of the solution after the addition of HCI will be clear and the pH will be less than 0.2. The colour of the solution after the addition of HCI will be violet and the pH will be higher than 0.2.
