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

Gasoline and kerosene (specific gravity 0.820) are blended to obtain a mixture with a specific gravity of 0.770. Calculate the v
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The volumetric ratio is 0,71

Explanation:

Let's begin with the equation:

Db = Mb/Vb (1)

Where:

Db: Blend Density, Mb: Blend Mass and Vb: Blend Volume

And we know: Vb = Vg + Vk (2)

Where:

Vg: Gasoline Volume and Vk: Kerosene Volume

Therefore replacing (2) into (1):

Db = (Mg + Mk) / (Vg + Vk)

Db = (Dg * Vg + Dk * Vk)/(Vg + Vk) (3)

Where:

Dg: Gasoline Density and Dk: Kerosene Density

The specific gravity is defined as:

SG = Substance Density / Reference Density

Therefore:

Db = SGb * Dref\\Dg = SGg * Dref\\Dk = SGk * Dref

Where:

Dref: Reference Density

SGb: Blend Specific Gravity

SGg: Gasoline Specific Gravity (which is 0.7 approximately)

SGk: Kerosene Specific Gravity

Replacing these equations into (3) we get:

SGb * Dref = (SGg * Dref * Vg + SGk * Dref * Vk)/(Vg + Vk)

SGb * Dref = Dref * (SGg * Vg + SGk * Vk)/(Vg + Vk)

SGb = (SGg * Vg + SGk * Vk)/(Vg + Vk)

SGb * (Vg + Vk) = SGg * Vg + SGk * Vk

SGb * Vg + SGb* Vk = SGg * Vg + SGk * Vk

Replacing with the Specific Gravity data, we obtain:

0.77 * Vg + 0.77 * Vk = 0.7 * Vg + 0.82 * Vk

0.77 * Vg - 0.7 * Vg = 0.82 * Vk - 0.77 * Vk

0.07 * Vg = 0.05 * Vk

Vg/Vk = 0.05/0.07

Vg/Vk = 0.71

The change in speed that could occur in 4 seconds in an object with an acceleration of 6 m/s/s.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

24m/s

Explanation:

a=change of v/change of t

6m/s^2=v/4s

multiply both sides by 4s

v=24m/s

If the weight of displaced liquid and the weight of an object are the same, the object will:
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Float

Explanation:

If the weight of liquid displaced and the weight of an object are the same, the object will float in the liquid.

From Archimedes principle, when an object is immersed in fluid, a force called upthrust supports it and it equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

When in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced is the same as that of the of the object, it will float and not sink.
