Chapter 17.10, Problem 31P

The pKa of protonated acetone is about 7.5. and the pKa of protonated hydroxylamine is 6.0.

  1. a. In a reaction with hydroxylamine at p H 4.5 (Figure 16.2), what fraction of acetone is present in its acidic, protonated form? (Hint: See Section 2.10.)
  2. b. In a reaction with hydroxylamine at pH 1.5, what traction of acetone is present in its acidic, protonated form?
  3. c. In a reaction with acetone at pH 1.5 (Figure 16.2), what fraction of hydroxylamine is present in its reactive basic form?

1. What is the pH of a 0.2 M acetic acid solution where the Ka for acetic acid is 1.33 x 10-5 M. 2. What is the pH of a 0.1 M formic acid solution where the pka for formic acid is 3.77.
Benzoic acid(C6H5-COOH) is a weak acid(pKa=4.2) and naphthalene is neutral, neither acidic or basic. Prepare a flowchart for the separation and recovery of benzoic acid and naphthalene.
