The ph of a 0.175 m aqueous solution of a weak acid is 3.52. what is ka for this acid?

Chemistry

Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago

Hey there!

pH = - log [ H⁺  ] = 3.52

[ H⁺ ] = 10^-pH

[ H⁺] = 10^ ( -3.52 )

[H⁺] = 3.02*10⁻⁴ M

[HA] =0.175 M

Therefore:

Ka = [ H⁺]* [A⁻] / [ HA]

Ka =  (3.02*10⁻⁴)² /  0.175

Ka = 9.1204*10⁻⁸ / 0.175

Ka = 5.2*10⁻⁷


Hope that helps!

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. Solutes formula hydroch
matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.


Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

  • Hydrochloric acid, HCl

On adding HCl (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (H^{+} and Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Sodium hydroxide, NaOH

On adding NaOH (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (Na^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Formic acid, HCOOH

On adding HCOOH (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (H^{+} and  HCOO^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Methyl amine, CH_3NH_2

On adding CH_3NH_2 (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (CH_3NH_3^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Potassium chloride, KCl

On adding KCl in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (K^{+} and  Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Ethanol, C_2H_5OH

On adding C_2H_5OH in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

  • Sucrose, C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

On adding C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.
