Determine the solubility product constant (Ksp) of borax, a slightly soluble sodium salt, in water at two different temperatures and evaluate the enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy change for dissolving borax in water. The equilibrium expression for the process is: Na2B4O5(OH)4 10H2O (s) ⇌ 2 Na+ (aq) + B4O5(OH)4 2- (aq) + 10H2O(l) Since liquid water and solid borax are not included in the Ksp expression, the solubility product expression associated with this reaction is: Ksp = [Na+]2[borate] The concentration of the borate ion in equilibrium with solid borax can be determined by titration with HCl based on the following equation: B4O5(OH)42- + 2HCl(aq) + 3H2O (l) → 4 H3BO3(aq)+2Cl-(aq) The Ksp for borax will be evaluated at room temperature at 5oC. Knowing the Ksp values at two temperatures allows the use of the following equations to calculate the change in enthalpy and Gibbs free energy: In(Ksp1/Ksp2)=ΔH/R((1/T2)-(1/T1)) ΔGo= - RT InKsp Once ΔHo and ΔGo are known, you can find…
