A student was given a 50.0 mL of 0.10 M solution of an unknown diprotic acid, H2A, which was titrated with 0.10 M NaOH. After a

total of 25.0 mL of NaOH was added, the resulting solution has a pH of 6.70.
After a total of 50.0 mL of NaOH was added, the pH of the solution was 8.00.

Determine the values of Ka1 and Ka2 for the diprotic acid.

Answer:

Ka1 = 2.00x10⁻⁷, Ka2 = 5.00x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

A diprotic acid is a substance that can release 2 H⁺ when in aqueous solution. Because it is a weak acid, the ionization will be reversible. So, the acid has two equilibrium reactions, each one with its equilibrium constant:

H₂A ⇄ H⁺ + HA⁻   Ka1 = ([HA⁻]*[H⁺]/[H₂A])

HA⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻     Ka2 = ([A⁻]*[H⁺]/[HA⁻])

First, the number of moles of H₂A was:

n = 0.10 mol/L *0.05L = 0.005 mol

And then was added NaOH:

n = 0.1 mol/L * 0.025 L = 0.0025 mol

So, all the NaOH will reacts, then, the number of moles will be:

H₂A = 0.005 - 0.0025 = 0.0025 mol

HA⁻ = 0.0025 mol (the stoichiometry is 1:1:1)

The concentrations of H₂A and HA⁻ will be the same, so Ka1 = [H⁺], and

pH = -log[H⁺]

6.70 = -log[H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10^{-6.70}

[H⁺] = 2.00x10⁻⁷ M

Ka1 = 2.00x10⁻⁷

After the addition of 50.0 mL of NaOH the second equilibrium must dominate the reaction. For the expression of Ka1:

Ka1 = ([HA⁻]*[H⁺]/[H₂A])

[HA⁻]*[H⁺] = Ka1*[H₂A]

[HA⁻] = (Ka1*[H₂A])/[H⁺]

Ka2 = ([A⁻]*[H⁺]/[HA⁻])

Ka2 = ([A⁻]*[H⁺]²)/(Ka1*[H₂A])

By the stoichiometry, [H₂A] = [A⁻], so:

Ka2 = [H⁺]²/Ka1

pH = -log[H⁺]

8.00 = -log[H⁺]

[H+] = 10⁻⁸

Ka2 = (10⁻⁸)²/(2.00x10⁻⁷)

Ka2 = 5.00x10⁻¹⁰

A concentration cell is constructed by using the same half-reaction for both the cathode and anode. What is the value of standar
Akimi4 [234]

Solution :

A cell that is concentrated is constructed by the same half reaction for the anode as well as he cathode.

We know,

In a standard cell,

the reduction half cell reaction is :

$Ag^+(aq)+e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) E^0 = -0.80 \ V$

The oxidation half ell reaction :

$Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + e^- \ E^0= +0.80 \ V$

Thus the complete reaction of the cell is :

$Ag^+(aq)+ Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq)+Ag(s)$

$E^0 $ cell = $E_R - E_L = 0.00  \ \text{volts}$

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

A boy found a solid metal box in his backyard. The box had been buried for so long, it was difficult to determine from what the
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.

the elements iron and oxygen can react to form the compound iron oxide. what type of reaction is this? please explain.
rjkz [21]
Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)
