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

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The term conclusion best illustrates the given statement.

Explanation:

Conclusion refers to a decision or judgment that can be acquired by reasoning. From the observation mentioned in the given table:  

1. The steel, aluminum, and bronze took 27, 45 and 80 seconds to dissolve small section of wax, this signifies that more time will be needed by them to transfer heat to the food while cooking. Thus, food will take more time to cook in them.  

2. Copper consumed less time, that is, 15 seconds to melt the section of wax than the other metal pots, which signifies that it is a good conductor of heat than the others. Thus, the copper pot would be good for cooking food briskly.  

After evaluating the results and observations in an experiment, the conclusion was made that pots made of copper are best for cooking foods.
