Answer:

Acetic acid Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Trichloroacetic acid Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid dissociation of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-4.76)

Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Let's consider the acid dissociation of trichloroacetic acid.

CCl₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CCl₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of trichloroacetic acid is 0.7. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-0.7)

Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

Calculate either [ H 3 O + ] or [ OH − ] for each of the solutions.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: Solution A : [H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M

Solution B : [OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M

Solution C : [OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

pH=-\log[H_3O^+]

pOH=-log[OH^-}

pH+pOH=14

[H_3O^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}

a. Solution A: [OH^-]=3.33\times 10^{-7}M

[H_3O^+]=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.33\times 10^{-7}}=0.300\times 10^{-7}M

b. Solution B : [H_3O^+]=9.33\times 10^{-9}M

[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{9.33\times 10^{-9}}=0.107\times 10^{-5}M

c. Solution C : [H_3O^+]=5.65\times 10^{-4}M

[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{5.65\times 10^{-4}}=0.177\times 10^{-10}M
