Is it possible for a diprotic acid to have Ka1?

Chemistry

Masja [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Yes, it is possible.

Explanation:

A diprotic acid is an acid that can release two protons. That's why it is called diprotic.

Monoprotic → Release one proton, for example Formic acid HCOOH

Triprotic → Releases three protons, for example H₃PO₄

Polyprotic → Release many protons, for example EDTA

it is a weak acid.

In the first equilibrum, it release proton, and the second is released in the second equilibrium. So the first equilibrium will have a Ka1

H₂A  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  HA⁻                Ka₁

HA⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  A⁻²               Ka₂

The HA⁻ will work as an amphoterous because, it can be a base or an acid, according to this:

HA⁻   +  H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺   + A⁻²      Ka₂

HA⁻   +  H₂O  ⇄  OH⁻   + H₂A       Kb₂

A sample of gas kept at a constant pressure, is heated from 273 k to 373 k. If the initial volume is 3.00 L, what is the new vol
zlopas [31]

Answer: 4.10 liters

Explanation:

Given that:

initial volume of gas V1 = 3.0L

initial temperature of gas T1 = 273K

new volume V2 = ?

new temperature T2 = 373K

Since, only volume and temperature are involved, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

3.0L/273K = V2/373K

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

3.0L x 373K = 273K x V2

1119 = 273V2

Divide both sides by 273

1119/273 = 273V2/273

4.10L = V2

Thus, the new volume is 4.10 liters
