From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, explain how the ratio [Al/[HA] changes with changing pH

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The ratio [A-]/[HA] increase when the pH increase and the ratio decrease when the pH decrease.

Explanation:

Every weak acid or base is at equilibrium with its conjugate base or acid respectively when it is dissolved in water.

HA + H_{2}O ⇄ A^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}

This equilibrium depends on the molecule and it acidic constant (Ka). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the species. If the pH decreases the concentration of protons will increase and the ratio between A- and AH will decrease. Instead, if the pH increases the concentration of protons will decreases and the ratio between A- and AH will increase.

Answer:

Ok, so the process here is to convert the mass of H2 (hydrogen gas) to moles by dividing the mass by the molar mass of H2. Once you have the moles then you have to multiply by the STP (standard temperature and pressure) molar volume which should be 22.4.

Molar mass of H2 = (1.01)x2 = 2.02g/mol

19.3/2.02 = 9.55 moles

Now just multiply the moles by the molar volume

9.55 moles x 22.4 = 213.92 Litres of H2 are in 19.3g of H2
