A new potential heart medicine, code-named X-281, is being tested by a pharmaceutical company, Pharma-pill. As a research techni

cian at Pharma-pill, you are told that X-281 is a monoprotic weak acid, but because of security concerns, the actual chemical formula must remain top secret. The company is interested in the drug's Ka value because only the dissociated form of the chemical is active in preventing cholesterol buildup in arteries. To find the pKa of X-281, you prepare a 0.079 M test solution of X-281 at 25.0 ∘C. The pH of the solution is determined to be 3.00. What is the pKa of X-281

The p K a pKa of acetic acid is 4.76 . 4.76. The p K a pKa of trichloroacetic acid is 0.7 . 0.7. Calculate the equilibrium disso
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Acetic acid Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Trichloroacetic acid Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid dissociation of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-4.76)

Ka = 1.74 × 10⁻⁵

Let's consider the acid dissociation of trichloroacetic acid.

CCl₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CCl₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

The pKa of trichloroacetic acid is 0.7. The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is:

pKa = -log Ka

- pKa = log Ka

Ka = anti log (-pKa)

Ka = anti log (-0.7)

Ka = 2 × 10⁻¹

You are given an aqueous solution and are asked to analyze it for the presence (or absence) of Ag+(aq), Ca2+(aq), and/or Hg2+(aq
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq)

Explanation:

  • In the first step, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the solution. In this case the equilibrium that could take place is:

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) ↔ AgCl(s)

But no precipitate was formed, so Ag⁺(aq) is absent.

  • By adding H₂SO₄(aq) the next equilibrium that could take place is:

Ca⁺²(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)  ↔ CaSO₄(s)

A white precipitate was formed, so Ca⁺² is present in the solution.

  • The following could take place after adding H₂S(aq):

Hg²⁺(aq) + S⁻² ↔ HgS(s)

A black precipitate formed, so Hg⁺² is present as well.
