An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni

c acid (HC2H5CO2) with a 1.1000M solution of KOH. The pKa of proionic acid 4.89.
Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 41.04mL of the KOH solution to it.

Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of solution added. Round your answer to decimal places.

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of acid solution is 4.58

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}    .....(1)

  • <u>For KOH:</u>

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol

  • <u>For propanoic acid:</u>

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

                 C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O

<u>Initial:</u>          0.1372         0.04514  

<u>Final:</u>           0.09206          -                0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L     (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})

We are given:  

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}

[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}

pH = ?  

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

A student was given a stock solution with a concentration of 3.61 g/mL and asked to perform
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The concentration of the dilute sample will be 0.361 g/ml

Explanation:

If a solution is diluted into 1:10 ratio then the amount of solute of that solution will be decreased by 10 times.

      The initial concentration of the stock solution was 3.61g/ml but when the solution is diluted in 1:10 ratio the solute concentration is also decreased by 10 times.SO at present the solute concentration becomes 3.61/10=0.361 g/ml.
