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

How did Dalton gather evidence for the existence of atoms?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Dalton gathers evidence for the existence of atoms by measuring the masses of elements after compounds are formed.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • John Dalton accumulated proof for the presence of atoms by estimating the majority of components that responded to frame mixes. All components are made out of molecules. All particles of a similar component have a similar mass, and atoms of various components have various masses. Mixes contain atoms of more than one component.  
  • Dalton did numerous investigations that gave proof to the presence of particles. For instance, He researched pressure and different properties of gases, from which he induced that gases must comprise of little, singular particles that are in steady, arbitrary movement.

Identify the molecules or ions below as Lewis acids, Lewis bases, or neither. If there is more than one possible site in the mol
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the molecules been referred to in the question. However, the molecules been referred to in the question is in the attachment below

Explanation:

First of all, we have to define lewis acid and lewis base.

A lewis acid is a substance that has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons. For example, H⁺. While a lewis base is a substance that is capable of donating a pair of electrons (to a lewis acid). For example, OH⁻.

Going by the definitions above, we can deduce the type of substance the molecules in the question (attachment) are

a. BF₃ (boron trifluoride) is a lewis acid because the central atom (as suggested to be focused on in the question) which is <u>boron, has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u>.

b. The central atom (carbon) in the compound (2-methyl propane) <u>also has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u> since it is positively charged (is electron deficient). Hence, it is a lewis acid.

c. The functional group in this compound (trimethyl borate) is the ether. Ethers are generally lewis bases because the oxygen atom in an ether can donate a pair of electrons from it's lone pair. However, the <u>presence of boron which is central to the compound</u> shows it is also a lewis acid, although weak (majorly due to the presence of the ethers).

Which reaction will occur? 2NaBr I2 Right arrow. 2NaI Br2 2Fe Al2O3 Right arrow. 2Al Fe2O3 2AgNO3 Ni Right arrow. Ni(NO3)2 2Ag P
Likurg_2 [28]

The reaction that has been occurred will be \rm 2\;Fe\;+\;Al_2O_3\;\rightarrow\;2\;Al\;+\;Fe_2O_3.

The chemical reaction has been defined as the interaction of the reactant  molecules for the formation of the product. The changes have been taken place in the reactivity series and under specific conditions.

<h3>Reaction occur</h3>

The displacement reaction has been taken place based on the reactivity series. The more reactive element has been able to displace the less reactive element in the compound and form a new compound.

The following reactions have been analyzed as:

  • \rm 2\;NaBr\;+\;I_2\;\rightarrow\;2\;NaI\;+\;Br_2

In the reaction, Br has been replaced by Iodine. The iodine has been less reactive than Br and thus will not form the compound.

Thus, this reaction will not occur.

  • \rm 2\;Fe\;+\;Al_2O_3\;\rightarrow\;2\;Al\;+\;Fe_2O_3

In the reaction, Al has been replaced by Fe. The Fe is more reactive than Al. thus this reaction will occur.

  • \rm 2\;AgNO_3\;+\;Ni\;\rightarrow\;Ni(NO_3)_2\;+\;2\;Ag

The nickel has been less reactive than Ag, and thus will not be able to form the product.

Thus, this reaction will not occur.

  • \rm Pb\;+\;Zn(C_2H_3O_2)_2\;\rightarrow\;Zn\;+\;Pb(C_2H_3O_2)_2

The lead has been less reactive than Zn, and thus will not be able to form the product.

Thus, this reaction will not occur.

The reaction that has been occurred will be \rm 2\;Fe\;+\;Al_2O_3\;\rightarrow\;2\;Al\;+\;Fe_2O_3.

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1
