Explanation / Answer

Question 1.

Region 1: Initial pH

First, assume the acid:

CH3COOH

to be HA, for simplicity, so it will ionize as follows:

HA <-> H+ + A-

where, H+ is the proton and A- the conjugate base, HA is molecular acid

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]; by definition

initially

[H+] = 0

[A-] = 0

[HA] = 0.187 ;

the change

initially

[H+] = + x

[A-] = + x

[HA] = - x

in equilbrirum

[H+] = 0 + x

[A-] = 0 + x

[HA] = 0.187 - x

substitute in Ka

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = x*x/(M-x)

x^2 + Kax - M*Ka = 0

if M = 0.187 M; then

x^2 + (1.8*10^-5)x - 0.187 *(1.8*10^-5) = 0

solve for x

x =0.001825

substitute

[H+] = 0 + 0.001825= 0.001825M

[A-] = 0 + 0.001825= 0.001825M

[HA] = M - x = 0.187 -0.001825= 0.185175 M

pH = -log(H+) = -log(0.001825) = 2.738
