NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.
HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.
<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>
Answer:
pH = 12.33
Explanation:
Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.
The titration reaction is
HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺
number of moles of HA : 118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA
number of moles of OH : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L = 0.046 mol A⁻
therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.
n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH
pOH = - log (KOH)
M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M
pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66
pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33
Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.
<span>the atractions between the solute and solvent molecules must be greater than the atractions keeping the solute together and the atractions keeping the solvent togetherrr.</span>
