Calculate the concentration of acetic acid and acetate ion in a 0.2 M acetate buffer at pH 5. The p K a of acetic acid is 4.76
Levart [38]

Answer:

[Acetic acid] = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.13 M

Explanation:

pH of buffer = 5

pKa of acetic acid = 4.76

pH=p_{Ka} + log\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

Now using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

5=4.76 + log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]}

log\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 0.24

\frac{[Acetate]}{[Acetic\;acid]} = 1.74  ....... (1)

It is given that,

[Acetate] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M     ....... (2)

Now solving both the above equations

[Acetate] = 1.74[Acetic acid]

Substitute the concentration of acetate ion in equation (2)

1.74[Acetic acid] + [Acetic acid] = 0.2 M

[Acetic acid] = 0.2/2.74 = 0.07 M

[Acetate] = 0.2 - 0.07 = 0.13 M

If the pH of a wine is too high, say, 4.0 or above, the wine becomes unstable and has a flat taste. (a) A certain California red
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The Californian red wine (pH 3.5) has a hydrogen concentration of 0.00032M

The italian white wine (pH 2.9) has a hydrogen concentration of 0.00126 M

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Wine 1 has a pH of 3.5

Wine 2 has a pH of 2.9

Wine 2 is more acid so should have more hydrogen ions

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate hydrogen concentration

pH = -log [H+]

Wine 1: pH = 3.5 = -log[H+]

[H] = 10 ^-3.5 M = 0.00032 M

Wine 2: pH =2.9 = -log[H+]

[H+] = 10^-2.9 = 0.00126 M

The Californian red wine (pH 3.5) has a hydrogen concentration of 0.00032M

The italian white wine (pH 2.9) has a hydrogen concentration of 0.00126 M

The italian white wine has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, what means it's more acid than the californian red wine.
