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).
1 answer:
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
