Answer:

When pH = 9.50 ; Volume = 14.8 L

When pH = 4.70 ; Volume = 4.51 L

Explanation:

We all know that:

pKa = -logKa

So let us first calculate the pKa values of the following Ka:

Given that:

Ka1 = 1.0×10⁻³

Ka2 = 5.0×10⁻⁸

Ka3 = 2.0×10⁻¹²

For pKa_1 ; we have -logKa_1

= -log(1.0*10^{-3})

= 3.00

pKa_2 = -logKa_2

= -log(5.0*10^{-3})

= 7.30

pKa_3 = -logKa_3

= -log(2.0*10^{-12})

= 11.70

At pH = 4.70:

The pH (4.70) is closer to pKa_1 than pKa_2 and pKa_3.

However, the only important pKa for the dissociation of the acid will be directed towards only  pKa_1

So: At pH = 4.70

-log [H_3O^+] = pH = 4.70

[H_3O^+] = 10^{-4.70}

H_3A_{(aq)}      +     H_2O_{(l)}     ⇄     H_2A^-}_{(aq)}     +     H_3O^+_{(aq)}

Ka_1= \frac{[H_2A^-][H_3O^+]}{[H_3A]}

1.0*10^{-3}= \frac{[H_2A^-][H_3O^+]}{[H_3A]}

\frac{1.0*10^{-3}}{[H_3O^+]}= \frac{[H_2A^-]}{[H_3A]}

where; [H_3O^+] = 10^{-4.70}

so, we have:

\frac{1.0*10^{-3}}{[10^{-4.70}]}= \frac{[H_2A^-]}{[H_3A]}

\frac{[H_2A^-]}{[H_3A]}= 10^{1.7}

\frac{[H_2A^-]}{[H_3A]}= 50.12

Given that;

283.0 mL of 5.60*10^{-2}M solution is given:

Then ; 283.0 mL = 0.283 L

However;

n_{(H_2A^-)}     + n_{(H_3A) = 0.283 *5.60*10^{-2}M

= 0.013328

= 1.3328*10^{-2} M

n_{H_2A^-}+ \frac{n_{H_2A^-}}{50.12} = 1.3328*10^{-2}

n_{H_2A^-}= \frac{1.3328*10^{-2}}{(1+\frac{1}{50.12} )}

= 0.01307 mole

moles of NaOH required to convert H_3A to H_2A^-  i.e (n_{H_2A^-})

= 1.307*10^{-2}moles

Finally; the volume of NaOH required = \frac{1.307*10^{-2}}{2.90}

= 0.004507

= 4.51 mL

When pH = 4.70 ; Volume = 4.51 L

When pH = 9.50

We try to understand that the average of pKa_2 and pKa_3 yields 9.50

i.e \frac{7.30+11.70}{2}

=  \frac{19}{2}

= 9.50

Here; virtually all, H_3A  is in H_2A^-  form;

SO; the moles of NaOH required to convert H_3A to H_2A^- will be:

= 2 × initial  H_3A = volume of NaOH × 1.8 M

= 2 × 1.3328 × 10⁻² mol = Volume  of NaOH × 1.8 M

Volume  of NaOH  = \frac{2*1.3328*10^{-2}}{1.8}

= 0.1481 L

= 14.8 L

When pH = 9.50 ; Volume = 14.8 L

zvonat [6]

Answer:

1.58x10⁻⁵

2.51x10⁻⁸

0.0126

63.10

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]

pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,

i) pH = 4.9

4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-4.8}

[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵

ii) pH = 2.1

2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-7.6}

[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸

iii) pH = 7.8

7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-1.9}

[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126

iv) pH = 11.5

11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{1.8}

[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10
