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

If a chlor-alkali cell used a current of 3X10⁴A, how many pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day?
vova2212 [387]

7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.

<h3>What is Stoichiometry ?</h3>

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measures quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amount of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.

<h3>What is Balanced chemical equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

2Cl⁻ (aq) → Cl (g) + 2e⁻

According to stoichiometry, moles of Cl₂

= (3 \times 10^4\ A) \left (\frac{\frac{C}{s}}{A} \right ) \left (\frac{3600\ s}{h} \right ) (8h) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ e^{-}}{9.65 \times 10^4\ C} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ \text{mol}\ Cl_2}{2\ \text{mol}\ e^-} \right )

= 4477 moles

Pounds Cl₂

= (4477\ \text{moles}\ Cl_2) \left (\frac{70.90\ g\ Cl_2}{\text{mol}} \right ) \left (\frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g} \right ) \left (\frac{2.205\ lb}{1\ kg} \right )

= 7 × 10² lb

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that 7 × 10² pounds of Cl₂ would be produced in a typical 8-h operating day.
