A 0.552-g sample of ascorbic acid was dissolved in water to a total volume of 0.20 mL and titrated with 0.1103 M KOH. The equiva

lence point occurred at 28.42 mL. The pH of the solution at 10.0mL of added base was 3.72. From this data, determine the molar rmass and Ka for vitamin C.

Answer:

176.1 g/mol , Ka = 10^{-3.984} =1.03 * 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is as shown in the attached diagram below

the reaction of Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH with ascorbic acid, C₆H₈O₆ is similar to the reaction of Potassium Hydroxide, KOH with ascorbic acid as show

C₆H₈O₆  +  KOH     ⇒     C₆H₇O₅K    +   H₂O

to produce one mole of potassium ascorbate and water

now,

0.1103 M KOH is contained in 1000mL

x moles is contained in 20mL

cross multiply making x the subject

No of moles of KOH = (0.1103 x 28.42)/1000 = 0.003135 moles

or

Moles KOH = 0.1103 x 0.02842 L = 0.003135  = moles ascorbic acid

Molar mass = 0.552 g / 0.003135 mol = 176.1 g/mol

Moles ascorbic acid = 0.552 / 176.1 =0.00313

moles NaOH = 0.0100 L x 0.1103 =0.001103

C₆H₈O₆ + OH⁻ >> C₆H₇O₆⁻ + H2O

Moles ascorbic acid in excess = 0.00313 - 0.001103 = 0.002027

Moles C₆H₇O₆⁻ = 0.001103

total volume = 20 + 10 = 30 mL = 0.030 L

concentration ascorbic acid = 0.002027 / 0.030 =0.0676 M

concentration C₆H₇O₆⁻ = 0.001103 / 0.030 =0.0368 M

pH = pKa + log [C₆H₇O₆⁻] / [C₆H₈O₆]

3.72 = pKa + log 0.0368 / 0.0676

3.72 = pKa - 0.264

pKa =3.984

Ka = 10^{-3.984} =1.03 * 10^{-4}

Ka = 10^-3.984 =1.03 x 10^-4

What is the classification of a solution of naoh with a ph of 8.3?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

  • <u>Alkaline or basic solution </u>(alkaline and basic means the same)

Explanation:

According to the <em>pH</em>,  solutions may be classified as neutral, acidic, or alkaline (basic).

This table shows such classification:

pH               classification

  7                   neutral

> 7                   alkaline or basic

< 7                   acidic

Thus, since the pH of the solution is 8.3, which is greater than 7, the solution is classified as basic (alkaline).

Additionally, you must learn that pH is a logarithmic scale for the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution.

  • pH = - log [H₃O⁺]

You can calculate the concentration of hydronium ions using antilogarithm properties:

pH=-log[H_3O^+]\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-pH}\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-8.3}=0.00000000501

NaOH solutions are alkaline solutions, bases, according to Arrhenius model,  because they contain OH⁻ ions and release them when ionize in water.

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant Kp for the following reaction. (Enclose pressures in parentheses and do NOT wr
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

For the following balanced reaction:

PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:

Kp=\frac{(P PCl_{3})(P Cl_{2})}{(P PCl_{5})}

Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).

A gas occupies a volume of 31.0 ml at 19.0°C. If the gas temperature rises to 38.0°C at constant pressure. Calculate the new vol
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.0033 L (33.0 mL)

Explanation:

We uses the Charles's law which describes the changes in the volume (V) of a gas and its temperature in Kelvin (T) at constant pressure. The mathematical expression is the following:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

We have the following data:

V₁= 31.0 mL = 0.0031 L

T₁= 19.0°C = 292 K

T₂= 38.0°C = 311 K

V₂= ?

We calculate V₂ from the mathematical expression, as follows:

V₂= V₁/T₁ x T₂ = 0.0031 L/(292 K) x 311 K = 0.0033 L
