Answer:

Ka=6.43x10^{-5}

pKa=4.19

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the pH provides the concentration of hydrogen in its dissociation:

Naproxen\rightleftharpoons H^++Naproxen^-

Thus, such concentration is:

[H^+]=10^{-4.2}=6.31x10^{-5}M

Thus, the Ka, by means of the dissociation law of mass action:

Ka=\frac{(6.31x10^{-5})^2}{1.25x10^{-4}-6.31x10^{-5}}=6.43x10^{-5}

Hence the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(6.43x10^{-5})=4.19

Best regards.

Naproxen is known to be a weak acid. In order to calculate its ka and pka, use the equation of getting the ph of weak acid which is ph= -1/2 log [(Ka)(Mwa)]. The Ka value is 3.18x10^-5. The pKa can be obtained through pKa = - log Ka. The pKa is 4.5.

PLEASE HELP ME The pH scale for acids and bases ranges from _____.
inysia [295]

The pH scale for acids and bases ranges from 1 - 14. The answer is letter C. The rest of the choices do not answered the question above. There are quite a few relationships between [H+] and [OH−] ions. And because there is a large range of number between 10 to 10-15 M, the pH is used. pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH−]. In aqueous solutions, [H+ ][OH- ] = 10-14. From here we can derive the values of each concentration.

 


 -log[H+ ] + -log[OH- ] = -log[10-14]


pH + pOH = 14


So pH = 14 – pOH and pOH = 14 –

pH 


It would be B.
