You are given 10.00 mL of a solution of an unknown acid. The pH of this solution is exactly 2.18. You determine that the concent

ration of the unknown acid was 0.2230 M. You also determined that the acid was monoprotic (HA). What is the pKa of your unknown acid

Answer:

pKa=3.70

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the information, we can compute the concentration of hydronium given the pH:

pH=-log([H^+])\\

[H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-2.18}=6.61x10^{-3}M

Next, given the concentration of the acid and due to the fact it is monoprotic, its dissociation should be:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-

We can write the law of mass action for equilibrium:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Thus, due to the stoichiometry, the concentration of hydronium and A⁻ are the same at equilibrium and the concentration of acid is:

[HA]=0.2230M-6.61x10^{-3}M=0.2164M

As the concentration of hydronium also equals the reaction extent (x). Thereby, the acid dissociation constant turns out:

Ka=\frac{(6.61x10^{-3})^2}{0.2164}\\ \\Ka=2.02x10^{-4}

And the pKa:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(2.02x10^{-4})\\\\pKa=3.70

Regards.

How many HCl molecules and moles are there in 3.65 grams of
ipn [44]

Answer:

0.6022×10²³ molecules

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 3.65 g

Number of molecules = ?

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.65 g/36.45 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Number of molecules:

1 mole of any substance contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.1 mol ×  6.022×10²³ molecules/ 1 mol

0.6022×10²³ molecules
