The pH of a 0.0200 M solution of an unknown acid is 2.56. What is the Ka of this acid? To solve this problem: Write the acid dissociation equilibrium for the generic acid “HA” Set up an ICE chart ( with x = the concentration of H3O+ at equilibrium) Write the expression for Ka. Fill this in with the concentrations of H3O+, A- and HA at equilibrium, in terms of x. What is x? Can you find it from the given information? You should be able to use the pH to get the concentration of H3O+, which is x. Do this. Now that you know x, plug in into the Ka expression and find Ka.
Write the appropriate equilibrium expression, set up an ICE table, solve for “x” and then proceed to calculate the concentration of all species at equilibrium. Calculate the pH of each solution. You will need to look up the appropriate ionization constants, Ka or Kb, in your book. Indicate whether the 5% rule can be applied and, if not, be sure to solve using the quadraticequation. Recalculate Ka or Kb to check.(a) 0.0092 M HClO, a weak acid (c) 0.0810 M HCN, a weak acid(b) 0.0784 M C6H5NH2, a weak base (d) 0.11 M (CH3)3N, a weak base
Q1.0 When 0.39 mol of solid CO2 is reacted with 0.23 mol of CH3MgBr in an ether solvent, the resulting product is isolated in aqueous solution (assuming 100% yield) and any excess CO2 is removed. Following this, 0.13 mol of HCl (aq) is added. What is the resulting solution's pH? Please note that you will need to research a pKa value for this query, and your answer should be reported to two decimal points.
Look up the appropriate Ka1 and Ka2 values for oxalic acid andascorbic acid, and repeat these calculations for these two weak, diprotic acids. Calculate the pH of both solutions and rank the acidities of the carbonic acid, oxalic acid, and ascorbic acidsolutions. In what ways is the ranking consistent with the magnitudes of the ionization constants?
Provide the chemical formulas and the names of the three predominant carbonic acid species indicated by arrows in the image below: Species 1 species 2 Species 3 Explain i) how you can determine the pH range at which a weak acid/conjugate base system will display buffering properties.ii) what is the reason/logic behind the rule applied in i)? and iii) indicate the pH ranges of the carbonic acid system based on the pka values provided above. Provide the chemical equilibrium that describes the carbonic acid buffer system that exists at pH 9.3. Clearly indicate the chemical formulas, identify the weak acid and it’s conjugate base, and the names of the chemical compounds.
We can observe the common-ion effect in action by comparing how much a pure sample of acid dissociates to how much a sample of an acid dissociates when its conjugate base is in solution. Let's consider the oxoacid HIO, which has a Ka of 2.3×10-11. part 1: Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of 0.100 M HIO. (Due to the low Ka value, you may apply the 5% approximation to avoid the quadratic equation if you wish.) part 2: Complete the RICE table for the dissociation of 0.100 M HIO in a solution with 0.0150 M IO- by selecting the correct answer from any dropdown boxes available. (Remember that the conjugate bases are typically added in as a soluble salt, such as NaIO, but that the salt dissociates completely and the alkali metal cation is a spectator ion.) part 3: Calculate the pH for the solution made from 0.100 M HIO and 0.0150 M IO- . For this case, you can also make the assumption that x will be negligibly small compared to the starting concentrations of the weak acid and…
A solution of sodium acetate is prepared using 0.56 mol L-1 NaOH as the solvent. The pKapKa of acetic acid is 4.75 . The concentration of sodium acetate after mixing, before any reaction takes place is 0.44 mol L-1 . Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all acid species: [ CH3COOH ], [ CH3COO- ], the pH and the pOH in the solution. Some assumptions may not work, on the other hand, if you do not make the correct assumptions first, the quadratic formula will give you the wrong answer. [ CH3COOH ] = ___mol L-1 , [ CH3COO- ] = ___mol L-1 , pH = ___ pOH = ____

1. You are taking samples at a contaminated mine site from a carbonate aquifer to determine the concentration of dissolved lead in the sample. To preserve the sample, you acidify it to pH 5. How much HCl, in equivalents/L, must be added to this sample to make it pH 5 if the total carbonate concentration is 102 M and the initial pH is 10? Note that the total carbonate is the sum of all of the carbonate species ([H2CO3]+[HCO3] + [CO2]) present in the sample. What are the acid-base pairs responsible for buffering in this sample?
