Calculate the ph of a solution containing 0.0451 m potassium hydrogen tartrate and 0.028 m dipotassium tartrate. The ka values f

or tartaric acid are 9.20 × 10-4 (ka1) and 4.31 × 10-5 (ka2).

Given buffer:

potassium hydrogen tartrate/dipotassium tartrate (KHC4H4O6/K2C4H4O6 )

[KHC4H4O6] = 0.0451 M

[K2C4H4O6] = 0.028 M

Ka1 = 9.2 *10^-4

Ka2 = 4.31*10^-5

Based on Henderson-Hasselbalch equation;

pH = pKa + log [conjugate base]/[acid]

where pka = -logKa

In this case we will use the ka corresponding to the deprotonation of the second proton i.e. ka2

pH = -log Ka2 + log [K2C4H4O6]/[KHC4H4O6]

     = -log (4.31*10^-5) + log [0.0451]/[0.028]

pH = 4.15

Why doesn’t alcohol freeze?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Because it's a combination of chemicals, vodka doesn't freeze at the same temperature as either water or alcohol. Of course, vodka will freeze, but not at the temperature of an ordinary freezer. This is because vodka contains enough alcohol to lower the freezing point of water below the -17°C of your typical freezer.
