acid and base pH lab report
Explanation / Answer
5) The dissociation of acetic acid (CH3CO2H) can be shown as:
HC2H3O2 (aq) ---------> C2H3O2- (aq) + H+ (aq)
At equilibrium, we will assume the molar concentrations of C2H3O2- and H+ are equal, i.e, [C2H3O2-] = [H+]. This is due to the 1:1 nature of dissociation of acetic acid.
The equilibrium constant for the dissociation reaction is the acid-dissociation constant, Ka and is given as
Ka = [C2H3O2-][H+]/[CH3CO2H]eq = 1.76*10-5 at 25C …..(1)
Consider the first entry, pH = 3.34.
We define pH of a solution as pH = -log [H+]; therefore, [H+] = antilog (-pH) = antilog (-3.34) = 4.57*10-4 M.
Therefore, [H+] = 4.57*10-4 M and as per our definition of acid-dissociation constant, [CH3CO2-] = 4.57*10-4 M.
Plug in the values in (1) and obtain [CH3CO2H]eq.
1.76*10-5 = (4.57*10-4)*(4.57*10-4)/[CH3CO2H]eq
====> [CH3CO2H]eq = (4.57*10-4)2/(1.76*10-5) = 0.01187.
Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of acetic acid is 0.0119 M.
