Question

Help please!

1)Explain the reasons for the differences in pH for 0.1 M HCl and 0.001 M HCl. ?

2)Explain the reasons for the differences in pH for 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M HC 2H 3O 2 ?

3)Using the measured pH of the 0.1 M acetic acid solution determine the value of the ?acid dissociation constant, K a for acetic acid.?Using the measured pH for 0.1 M sodium acetate solution, also determine the K a for acetic acid. Compare these two values. ??

Explanation / Answer

HCl is strong acid and ionizes completely

HCl ------> H+ Cl-

So 0.1 M HCl means 0.1M H+ and pH= -log [H+] =-log(0.1)= 1

for 0.001M HCl, pH= -log (0.001)= 3

2. Acetic acid is weak acid and does not ionize completely while HCl is strong acid and ionizes completely and that is reflected in the pH values.

3. CH3COOH----->CH3COO- +H+

pH= 3.02, [H+] =10(-3.02)= 0.000955 =[CH3COO-]

Ka= [H+] [CH3COO-]/ [CH3COOH] =0.000955*0.000955/0.1=9.1*10-6

CH3COONa is strong salt and ionizes completely

CH3COO-+ H2O--------CH3COOH + OH-

pH= 7.29, pOH= 14-7.29=6.71

[OH-] =10^(-6.71)=1.95*10-7

Kb=( 1.95*10-7*1.95*10-7/0.1 =3.8*10-13

Ka= 10-14/3.8*10-13= 0.0263

NaH2PO4 ; Na2HPO4 ; Na3PO4 ; H3PO4 are related to each other in thier pH as shown in the table. H3PO4 reacts with NaOH to give nAH2PO4, Na2HP4, Na3PO4. This leads to basicity.
