The acid dissociation constant Ka of boric acid (H3BO3) is 5.8 times 10^-10. Calculate the pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid.

madam [21]

Answer: The pH of a 4.4 M solution of boric acid is 4.3

Explanation:

$H_3BO_3\rightarrow H^+H_2BO_3^-$

at t=0 cM 0 0

at eqm $c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 4.4 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=5.8\times 10^{-10}$

Putting in the values we get:

$5.8\times 10^{-10}=\frac{(4.4\times \alpha)^2}{(4.4-4.4\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.000011$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=4.4\times 0.000011=4.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[4.8\times 10^{-5}]=4.3$

Thus pH of a 4.4 M $H_3BO_3$ solution is 4.3

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

$m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}$

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

$mol=m*kilograms$

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

$mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol$

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

$0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl$

Regards!
