Answer:
Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;
They are generally more acidic.
Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.
Explanation:
According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,
an acid is a substance that can release ions when dissolved in water.
So, acid is a proton donor.
If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.
In the case of phenol,
the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.
The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:
Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.
So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Calculate the pH at 25°C of a 0.39 M solution of sodium hypochlorite NaClO. Note that hypochlorous acid HClO is a weak acid with a pKa of 7.50. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 10.4
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Molarity of sodium hypochlorite = 0.39 M
of HClO = 7.50
We know that:
of HClO =
To calculate the base dissociation constant for the given acid dissociation constant, we use the equation:
where,
= Ionic product of water =
= Acid dissociation constant =
= Base dissociation constant
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The chemical equation for the reaction of hypochlorite ion with water follows:
<u>Initial:</u> 0.39
<u>At eqllm:</u> 0.39-x x x
The expression of for above equation follows:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative
To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:
Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.4
