Chapter 1, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pKa of the weak acid needs to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The pKa of a solution is defined as negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka. It is mathematically represented as follows:

pKa=logKa

Here, Ka is the acid dissociation constant.

For an acid HA, the concentrations of HA and A are 0.075 and 0.025, respectively, at pH 6.0. What is the p K a value for HA?
The pH of normal human blood is in the range of 7.35 to7.45. Compute the range of the concentration of H3O+and the range of the OH- concentration in normal blood.
Calculate the pH of a mixture of 0.25 M acetic acid and 0.20 M sodium acetate. The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.
