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 do scientists use scientific notation for?
tamaranim1 [39]
Scientists use scientific notation to simplify numbers, basically. When dealing with really big numbers or really small numbers, the usage of scientific notation prevents them from having to write a bunch of zeroes.

The monatomic ions of Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all singly charged. In what major way do they differ? Why?
insens350 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form F^- ions.

If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form Na^+ ions.

Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.

What is the correct sequence of coefficients when this equation is balanced? ___cs2(l) + ___o2(g) → ___co2(g) + ___so2(g)?
iris [78.8K]

Answer: the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.


Explanation:


1) Given equation: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + SO₂(g)


2) To balance:


i) initially C is balanced: 1 atom in the left side, and 1 atom in the right sides


ii) Add coefficient 2 in front of SO₂ to have 2 atoms in each side.


That leads to: CS₂(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)


iii) Count the O atoms; there are 2 atoms in the left, and 6 atoms in the right side. So, add a coefficient 3 in front of O₂ (in the left) and you get:


CS₂(l) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g)


4) You can verigy that now the equation is balanced:


C: 1 in the left, and 1 in the right


S: 2 in the left, and 2 in the right


O: 6 in the left, and 6 in the right.


5) So, the sequence is 1, 3, 1, 2.


Remember, when the none coefficient is shown it is because it is 1.

If 0.959J of heat is added to 0.88g of water, how much will its temperature increase
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

0.260 Celsius

Explanation:

q =c x m x (T2-T1)

c - specific heat of water 4.186 J/g.C

T2-T1 = q /(c x m) = 0.959 /(4.186 x 0.88) = 0.959/3.68 =0.260 C
