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

Step2247 [10]
Use PV=nRT to solve the equation. You need to solve for n (number of moles). Don’t forget to convert the temperature to kelvins by adding 25+273. Use 0.082057 for R.

1. The most useful ore of aluminum is bauxite, in which Al is present as hydrated oxides, Al2O3⋅xH2O The number of kilowatt-hour
lianna [129]

*Answer:

Option A: 59.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 4.00 kg

The applied emf = 5.00 V

watts = volts * amperes

Step 2: Calculate amperes

equivalent mass of aluminum = 27 / 3 = 9  

mass of deposit = (equivalent mass x amperes x seconds) / 96500

4000 grams = (9* amperes * seconds) / 96500

amperes * seconds = 42888888.9

1 hour = 3600 seconds

amperes * hours = 42888888.9 / 3600 = 11913.6

amperes = 11913.6 / hours

Step 3: Calculate kilowatts

watts = 5 * 11913.6 / hours

watts = 59568 (per hour)

kilowatts = 59.6 (per hour)

The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity required to produce 4.00kg of aluminum from electrolysis of compounds from bauxite is 59.6 kWh when the applied emf is 5.00V
