Answer:
-2
Explanation:
carbonate oxifation number is -2
Explanation:
We have to calculate
value.
It is known that at the equivalence point concentration of acid is equal to the concentration of anion formed.
Hence, [HA] = ![[A^{-}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D)
Now, relation between
and pH is as follows.
pH = ![pK_{a} + log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
Putting the values into the above formula as follows.
pH = ![pK_{a} + log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pK_%7Ba%7D%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BA%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BHA%5D%7D)
4.23 =
(as [HA] =
)
= 4.23 (as log (1) = 0)
or,
= 4
Thus, we can conclude that
of given weak acid is 4.
