Question

Be sure to answer all parts. what are the concentrations of hso4−, so42−, and h in a 0. 31 m khso4 solution? (hint: h2so4 is a strong acid; ka for hso4− = 1. 3 × 10−2. ) [hso4−] = m [so42−] = m [h ] = m

Answer 1

At equilibrium the concentrations of:

[HSO₄⁻] = 0.10 M;

[SO₄²⁻] = 0.037 M;

[H⁺] = 0.037 M;

There is initially very little H+ and no SO₄²⁻ in the solution. A salt is KHSO₄⁻. All KHSO₄⁻ will split apart into K⁺ and HSO₄⁻ ions. [HSO₄⁻] will initially be present at a concentration of 0.14 M.

HSO₄⁻ will not gain H⁺ to produce H₂SO₄ since H₂SO₄ is a strong acid.  HSO₄⁻ may act as an acid and lose H⁺ to form SO₄²⁻. Let the final H⁺ concentration be x M. Construct a RICE table for the dissociation of HSO₄²⁻.

R   $HSO_4^-$    ⇄  $H^+ + SO_4^2^-$

I    $0.14$

C   $- x$               $+x$       $+x$

E   $0.14-x$        $x$         $x$

$K_a = 1.3$ × $10^-^2$ for $HSO^-_4$ . As a result,

$\frac{[H^+]. [SO_4^2^-]}{HSO_4^-} = K_a$

$K_a$ is large. It is no longer valid to approximate that $[HSO^-_4]$ at equilibrium is the same as its initial value.

$\frac{x^2}{0.14-y} = 1.3 * 10^-^2$

$x^2+1.3*10^-^2x - 0.14$ × $1.3$ × $10^-^2= 0$

Solving the quadratic equation for $x , x \geq 0$ since $x$ represents a concentration;

                             $x=0.0366538$

Then, round the results to 2 significant figure;

• $[SO_4^2^-] = x = 0.037 mol. L ^-^1$
• $[H^+] = x = 0.037 mol. L ^-^1$
• $[HSO_4^-] = 0.14 - x = 0.10 mol. L ^-^1$
