Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Before the addition of KOH :-

Given pKa1 of H3PO3 = 1.30

we know , pKa1 = - log10Ka1

Ka1 = 10-pKa1

Ka1 = 10-1.30

Ka1 = 0.0501

similarly pKa2 = 6.70 ,therefore Ka2 = 1.99 x 10-7

because Ka1 >> Ka2 , therefore pH of diprotic acid i.e H3PO3 can be calculated from first dissociation only .

ICE table is :-

H3PO3 (aq) <-------------> H+ (aq) + H2PO3-(aq)

I 2.4 M 0 M 0 M

C - x + x + x

E (2.4 - x )M x M x M

x = degree of dissociation

Now expression of Ka1 is :

Ka1 = [ H+ ] [ H2PO3-] / [ H3PO3]

0.0501 = x2 / 2.4 - x

on solving for x by using quadratic formula , we have

x = 0.32

Now [ H+ ] = [ H2PO3-] = 0.32 M

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log 0.32

pH = - ( - 0.495)

pH = 0.495

Hence pH before the addition of KOH = 0.495

(b)

After the addition of 25.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.025 L = 0.06 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Now 0.06 moles of KOH is equal to the half of the moles required for the first equivalent point . therefore pH at this point is equal to pKa1 .

Hence pH = 1.30 M

(c)

After the addition of 50.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

because Number of moles of H3PO4 = Number of moles of KOH

therefore , this point is the first equivalence point

and pH = pKa1 + pKa2 / 2

pH = 1.30 + 6.70 / 2

pH = 4.00

Hence pH = 4.00

(d)

After the addition of 75.0 mL of 2.4 M KOH :-

Number of moles of KOH = 2.4 M x 0.075 L = 0.18 mol

Number of moles of H3PO3 = 2.4 M x 0.050 L = 0.12 mol

This is the half way of the second equivalence point , therefore pH is equal to pKa2 .

Hence pH = 6.70

How can Newton's Third Law of Motion be used to explain why it is difficult to walk on a slippery surface, such as ice?
Olenka [21]
E ground pushes you forward. But that interaction is friction. Reduce friction and it doesn't matter how strong your legs are, the surface is incapable of pushing you accordingly. The coefficient of static friction is very low so it is easy to slide your foot rather than push.

-BARSIC- [3]
The two compounds shown indeed have tha same molecular formula, C5 H11 NO2. One of the molecules has a group NH2 and a group COOH, the other molecule has a NOO group, that makes that the two isomers have a completely different structure, with the atoms arranged in a completely different order. <span>This kind of isomers fits in the definition of structural isomers, so the answer is structural isomers.</span>
