Answer:
A. 0.143 M
B. 0.0523 M
Explanation:
A.
Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).
KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄
The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:
1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol
The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.
5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:
M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M
B.
Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.
KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O
When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.
First we have to find Ka1 and Ka2
pKa1 = - log Ka1 so Ka1 = 0.059
pKa2 = - log Ka2 so Ka2 = 6.46 x 10⁻⁵
Looking at the values of equilibrium constants we can see that the first one is really big compared to second one. so, the pH will be affected mainly by the first ionization of the acid.
Oxalic acid is H₂C₂O₄
H₂C₂O₄ ⇄ H⁺ + HC₂O₄⁻
0.0356 M 0 0
0.0356 - x x x
Ka1 =![\frac{[H^+][HC2O4^-]}{[H2C2O4]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%2B%5D%5BHC2O4%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH2C2O4%5D%7D%20)
= x² / 0.0356 - x
x = 0.025 M
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (0.025) = 1.6
pKa1 = - log Ka1 so Ka1 = 0.059
pKa2 = - log Ka2 so Ka2 = 6.46 x 10⁻⁵
