Question

1) A 0.100 mole quantity of a monoprotic acid HA is added to1.00 L of pure water. When equilibrium is reached, the pH ofthe solution is 3.75. What is the value of Ka for theacid HA? 2) A 0.250 g quantity of an acid is titrated with 0.108 MNaOH. It takes 27.22 mL of NaOH to reach the end point. What is theequivalent weight of the acid? 1) A 0.100 mole quantity of a monoprotic acid HA is added to1.00 L of pure water. When equilibrium is reached, the pH ofthe solution is 3.75.

Explanation / Answer

     The given Acid is                                         HA<------> H+   +    A-     Initial(M)                 0.100M            0.00       0.00 At Equilibrium(M)    0.100-10-3.75         10-3.75   10-3.75                                    Ka=[ H+  ][A-] / [HA]                       = ( 10-3.75   )2/   0.100-10-3.75                         =(1.778*10-4)2/ 0.0998                       = 3.2*10-8 /0.0998                        =3.168*10-7    At Equilibrium THe total number of moles of bothAcidnad Base is equal                                So The mass of Acid m=0.250 g                       concentrationC=0.108 M      Volume V=27.22 mL          Concentration C=[moles/V(ml)]*1000(mL)                                    =[(mass/molar mass)/V(mL)]*1000(mL)                     Molarmass= (0.250*1000)/ (0.108*27.22)                                       = 85.04 g/mol (Rb molarmass=85.4678 g/mol)                       = 3.2*10-8 /0.0998                        =3.168*10-7    At Equilibrium THe total number of moles of bothAcidnad Base is equal                                So The mass of Acid m=0.250 g                       concentrationC=0.108 M      Volume V=27.22 mL          Concentration C=[moles/V(ml)]*1000(mL)                                    =[(mass/molar mass)/V(mL)]*1000(mL)                     Molarmass= (0.250*1000)/ (0.108*27.22)                                       = 85.04 g/mol (Rb molarmass=85.4678 g/mol)
