You are performing a titration of a triprotic acid, when you spill water on your lab notebook. you can read that: pka 1 = 1.40,

pka 3 = 9.80. you have determined experimentally that the ph at the first equivalence point is 3.35, and the ph at the second equivalence point is 7.55. what is pka 2 for this acid?

According to the PH formula:
PH= Pka +㏒ [strong base/weak acid]
when we have PH at the first equivalence =3.35 and the Pka1 = 1.4
So, by substitution, we can get the value of ㏒[strong base / weak acid]
3.35 = 1.4 + ㏒[strong base/ weak acid]
∴㏒[strong base/weak acid] = 3.35-1.4 = 1.95 
to get the Pka2 we will substitute with the value of ㏒[strong base/ weak acid] and the value of PH of the second equivalence point
∴Pk2 = PH2 - ㏒[strong base/ weak acid]
          = 7.55 - 1.95 = 5.6

Consider a 0.10 M aqueous benzoic acid, CeHeCOOH. The K benzoic acid. 6.5 x 10 for A) Write a balanced equation that shows the r
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

a) C6H5COOH + H2O ↔ H3O+  +  C6H5COO-

b) [ H3O+ ] = 2.517 E-3 M

c) pH = 2.599

Explanation:

a) balanced equation:

C6H5COOH + H2O ↔ H3O+  +  C6H5COO-

⇒ Ka = ( [ H3O+ ] * [ C6H5COO- ] ) / [ C6H5COOH ] = 6.5 E-5

mass balance:

0.10 m = [ C6H5COO- ] + [ C6H5COOH ].....(1)

charge balance:

[ H3O+ ] = [ C6H5COO- ] + [ OH- ] .......[ OH- ] : comes from water, it's not significant

⇒ [ H3O+ ] = [ C6H5COO- ] .........(2)

b) (2) in (1):

⇒ 0.10 M = [ H3O+ ] + [ C6H5COOH ]

⇒ [ C6H5COOH ] = 0.10 - [ H3O+ ]

⇒ Ka = [ H3O+ ]² / ( 0.1 - [ H3O+ ] ) = 6.5 E-5

⇒ [ H3O+ ]² + 6.5 E-5 [ H3O+ ] - 6.5 E-6 = 0

⇒ [ H3O+ ] = 2.517 E-3 M

c) pH = - log [ H3O+ ]

⇒ pH = - Log ( 2.517 E-3 )

⇒ pH = 2.599
