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

If 2.0 mol of Zn is mixed with 3.0 mol<br> of HCl, which reactant will be limiting?
Soloha48 [4]

The following Balanced Reaction will take place:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction

<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>

Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn

<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>

But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.

So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent

What role does hydrogen bonding play in liquid water and ice?
Leto [7]
Due to hydrogen bonding there is a formation of cage like structure called lattice in ice due to which <span> density of ice is less than that of water. Moreover, it is a known fact that density of water is maximum at 4°C.</span>
