To determine: The method of categorization of the sample as acidic or basic.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The method of categorization of the sample as acidic or basic is by using litmus paper.

Explanation of Solution

If the solution is acidic, it changes blue litmus paper into red and there is no change in color for red litmus paper.

If the solution is basic it changes red litmus paper into blue and there is no change in color for blue litmus paper.

Conclusion

The sample is categorized as acidic or basic by using litmus paper.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The method of categorization of the sample as weak acid or strong acid.

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The method of categorization of the sample as weak acid or strong acid is titration.

Explanation of Solution

A strong acid and a weak acid can be differentiated by titrating them agianst a strong base like NaOH with the help of two acid-base indicators namely, methyl orange and phenolphthalein. The titre value is noted in both the cases.

When strong acid is titrated agianst a strong base, the same titre value is obtained for both the indicators. For tritration of weak acid and strong base, the color of indicator,methyl orange changes much earlier than the phenolphthalein and two different titre values are obtained.

Conclusion

Thus, the method of categorization of the sample as weak acid or strong acid is titration.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The value of Ka for weak acid.

(c)

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The value of Ka for weak acid is determined by using pKa value.

Explanation of Solution

The pKa for the pure substance is equal to its pH value.

The value of pKa is calculated by the formula,

pKa=logKa

Rearrange the above equation to calculate the value of Ka .

Ka=antilogpKa

Conclusion

The value of pKa is used to determine Ka .

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The method of separation of salt of weak acid.

(d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The method of separation of salt of weak acid is by using the immiscible organic solvent and water.

Explanation of Solution

Weak acids being organic in nature are more soluble in organic solvent.

For the separation of sodium salt of weak acid, the titrated mixture is dissolved in the mixture of immiscible organic solvent and water.

The salt being ionic preferred to dissolved in aqueous layer and weak acid preferred to dissolve in organic layer.

The aqueous layer is separated by separating funnel.

Conclusion

The salt of weak acid is separated by using the immiscible organic solvent and water.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The strength of the base and the Kb value.

(e)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The strength of the base and the Kb value is stated below.

Explanation of Solution

The strength of a base is determined by comparing pH paper with pH scale.

If the value of pH of the solution is close to 14 than it is a strong base and if the value of pH of the solution is close to 7 than it is a weak base.

The pKb for the pure substance is equal to its pH value.

The value of pKb is calculated by the formula,

  pKb=logKb

Rearrange the above equation to calculate the value of Kb .

Kb=antilogpKb

Conclusion

The strength of the weak base is determined by using pH paper.
