Chapter 2.9, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction, CH3COCH3+Na+NH2-------->CH3 COCH2-Na++NH3 will take place to a significant extent as written is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A strong acid will always donate a proton to a strong base. That is, an acid will donate a proton to the conjucate base of a weaker acid. In other words the conjucate base of a weaker acid will remove a proton from stronger acid.

To determine:

Whether the reaction, CH3COCH3+Na+NH2-------->CH3COCH2-Na++NH3 will take place to a significant extent as written.

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is called a diprotic acid because it has two acidic protons. The pKa for the first deprotonation is -9, whereas the pKa for the second deprotonation is 2. Explain these relative acid strengths.
Which of the following has the lowest pKa value ?
Acetic acid (CH3COOH, abbrev HA) is a very common weak acid with pKa = 4.75 (at 25oC and low ionic strength) A] Write down the dissociation equation of the weak acid HA in aqueous solution, derive the respective formulae for the dissociation constant Ka and pKa. B] Calculate pH of the diluted solution of acetic acid with concentration, c = 0.05 mol/dm3  C] What is the approximate pH of the aqueous acetate buffer solution composed of dissolved mixture of acetic acid (HA) and sodium acetate (NaA) in the same respective concentrations? What is the working pH range of acetate buffers? D] How can you prepare exactly 1 dm3 of acetate buffer solution with required pH 5.0 and the total concentration [HA + NaA], c = 0.01 mol/dm3 if the stock solution of acetic acid (HA) with concentration, cHA  = 0.1 mol/dm3, anhydrous sodium acetate (NaA, MT = 82.03 g/mol) and purified water are available? E] Acetate buffer solution may be also prepared by the partial neutralization of HA with NaOH: 20 cm3 of…
