If you have an unknown carboxylic acid, what pH you need to achieve upon re-acidification with HCl to ensure that your carboxylic acid is 99.9% back in its charge neutral form? Assume a pKa of 5 for your carboxylic acid, and remember that the pH needs to be 3 units different from the pKa for 99.9% ionization or charge neutralization. pH 7 or lower pH 5 or lower pH 2 or lower pH 13 or lower

1. Write the equilibrium-constant expressions and obtain numerical values for each constant in(a) the basic dissociation of aniline, C6H5NH2 .(b) the acidic dissociation of hypochlorous acid, HClO.(c) the acidic dissociation of methyl ammonium hydrochloride, CH3NH3Cl.(d) the basic dissociation of NaNO2 .(e) the dissociation of H3AsO3 to H3O + and AsO33- 2. The chemicals A and B react as follows to produce C and D: A + B ↔ C + DKe = [C] [D] [A] [B] The equilibrium constant Ke has a value of 0.30. Assume 0.20 mol of A and 0.50 mol of B are dissolved in 1.00 L, and the reaction proceeds. Calculate the concentrations of reactants [A], [B] and products [C], [D] at equilibrium. Using step-by-step process
Which is a stronger acid: one with an acid dissociation constant of 3.4 X 10-3 or one with an acid dissociation constant of 2.1 X 10-4?
Because phenol (C6H5OH) is less acidic than a carboxylic acid, it can be deprotonated by NaOH but not by the weaker base NaHCO3. Using this information, write out an extraction sequence that can be used to separate C6H5OH, benzoic acid, and cyclohexanol. Show what compound is present in each layer at each stage of the process, and if it is present in its neutral or ionic form.
If I have a weak acid with a pKa of 4.65 what will be the relative ratio of [A-] to [HA] in the final mixture be to give a pH of 4.00? What if you change this to a pH of 3.00? 5.00?
Verify that the equilibrium position for the reaction between phenol and hydroxide ion is on the right by comparing the pKa value of the acid on the left with that of the acid on the right. Which acid is stronger? do the same for the reaction of phenol with hydrogen carbonate ion
thank you, I would like to have a follow-up question. Would you get an answer of 4.05 pH if the value of your formic acid is 0.050 M while your sodium formate is 0.10 M? and still the same pKa which is 3.75?
Ethyne (HC‚CH) has a pKa value of 25, water has a pKa value of 15.7, and ammonia (NH3) has a pKa value of 36.

Which would be a better base to use if you wanted to remove a proton from ethyne, HO- or -NH2?
Dicarboxylic acids have two pKa's.- For maleic acid (cis-2-butenedioic acid) these are pKa1 = 2.0, and pKa2 = 6.3- For fumaric acid (trans-2-butenedioic acid) these are pKa1 = 3.0, and pKa2 = 4.5 Which factor best explains why the cis-isomer has a smaller pKa1 and a larger pKa2 than the trans-isomer? a. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding b. Intramolecular steric hindrance c. Selective solvation in water d. Intramolecular dipole repulsion

1.95 grams of ethanolamine were dissolved in water, and the pH of the solution was adjusted with HCl until 62% of the molecules were in their protonated (conjugate acid) state. The pKa of ethanolaminium (the conjugate acid of ethanolamine) is 9.5. What is the pH of the final solution? Round your answer to one decimal place (e.g., 2.3) using standard rounding conventions for the last digit.
