A chemist titrates 130.0mL of a 0.4248 M lidocaine (C14H21NONH) solution with 0.4429 M HBr solution at 25 degree C . Calculate t

he pH at equivalence. The pKb of lidocaine is 7.94 . Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Note for advanced students: you may assume the total volume of the solution equals the initial volume plus the volume of HBr solution added.

Answer:

pH = 3.36

Explanation:

Lidocaine is a weak base to be titrated with the strong acid HBr, therefore at equivalence point we wil have the protonated lidocaine weak conjugate acid of lidocaine which will drive the pH.

Thus to solve the question we will need to calculate the concentration of this weak acid at equivalence point.

Molarity = mol /V ∴ mol = V x M

mol lidocaine = (130 mL/1000 mL/L) x 0.4248 mol/L = 0.0552 mol

The volume of 0.4429 M HBr required to neutralize this 0.0552 mol is

0.0552 mol x  (1L / 0.4429mol) = 0.125 L

Total volume at equivalence is  initial volume lidocaine + volume HBr added

0 .130 L +0.125 L = 0.255L

and the concentration of protonated lidocaine at the end of the titration will be

0.0552 mol / 0.255 L = 0.22M

Now to calculate the pH we setup our customary ICE table for  weak acids for the equilibria:

protonated lidocaine + H₂O   ⇆  lidocaine + H₃O⁺

                      protonated lidocaine          lidocaine        H₃O⁺

Initial(M)               0.22                                       0                  0

Change                   -x                                      +x                 +x

Equilibrium          0.22 - x                                  x                    x

We know for this equilibrium

Ka = [Lidocaine] [H₃O⁺] / [protonaded Lidocaine] =  x² / ( 0.22 - x )

The Ka can be calculated from the given pKb for lidocaine

Kb = antilog( - 7.94 ) = 1.15 x 10⁻⁸

Ka = Kw / Kb = 10⁻¹⁴ / 1.15 x 10⁻⁸  = 8.71 x 10⁻⁷

Since Ka is very small we can make the approximation 0.22  - x  ≈ 0.22

and solve for x. The pH  will then  be the negative log of this value.

8.71 x 10⁻⁷  = x² / 0.22 ⇒ x = √(/ 8.71 X 10⁻⁷ x 0.22) = 4.38 x 10⁻⁴

( Indeed our approximation checks since 4.38 x 10⁻⁴ is just 0.2 % of 0.22 )

pH = - log ( 4.4x 10⁻⁴) = 3.36

Answer:

Chemical change :has change in mass, heat is needed, new element is formed, hard to reverse.......

Physicalchange:does not have change in mass, heat is not necessary, no new element is formed, easy to reverse

Write the Ka expression for an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid: (Note that either the numerator or denominator may contain
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Ka = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF]

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid which in water, keeps this equilibrium

HF (aq)  +  H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (aq)  +  F⁻ (aq)      Ka

2H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (l)  +  OH⁻ (aq)   Kw

HF is the weak acid

F⁻ is the conjugate stron base

Let's make the expression for K

K = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF] . [H₂O]

K . [H₂O] = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF]

K . [H₂O] = Ka

Ka, the acid dissociation constant, includes Kwater.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?
Hunter-Best [27]

As thermal energy increases and there is more particle movement.

  • Thermal energy is the energy possessed by the system or object due to the movement of its particles.
  • For example kinetic energy of the particles
  • Higher the motion of the particles more will be the thermal energy of the system or object and vice-versa
  • It is also termed as heat energy of a system or object
  • The higher the thermal energy, the higher will be the temperature and vice versa.

So, from this, we can conclude that as thermal energy increases and there is more particle movement.
