Answer:
(3) 5.36
Explanation:
Since this is a titration of a weak acid before reaching equivalence point, we will have effectively a buffer solution. Then we can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to answer this question.
The reaction is:
HAc + NaOH ⇒ NaAc + H₂O
V NaOH = 40 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.040 L
mol NaOH reacted with HAc = 0.040 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.002 mol
mol HAC originally present = 0.050 L x 0.05 mol/L = 0.0025 mol
mol HAc left after reaction = 0.0025 - 0.002 = 0.0005
Now that we have calculated the quantities of the weak acid and its conjugate base in the buffer, we just plug the values into the equation
pH = pKa + log ((Ac⁻)/(HAc))
(Notice we do not have to calculate the molarities of Ac⁻ and HAc because the volumes cancel in the quotient)
pH = -log (1.75 x 10⁻⁵) + log (0.002/0.0005) = 5.36
THe answer is 5.36
Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
∴ if theoretical yield is 26 g, but only 22.0 is recovered from the reaction,
then Percentage Yield = (22 g ÷ 26 g) × 100
= 84.6 %
Because there to tiny to see
