The leaves of the rhubarb plant contain high concentrations of diprotic oxalic acid (hooccooh) and must be removed before the st

ems are used to make rhubarb pie. if pka1 = 1.23 and pka2 = 4.19, what is the ph of a 0.0356 m solution of oxalic acid?

First we have to find Ka1 and Ka2
pKa1 = - log Ka1 so Ka1 = 0.059
pKa2 = - log Ka2  so Ka2 = 6.46 x 10⁻⁵
Looking at the values of equilibrium constants we can see that the first one is really big compared to second one. so, the pH will be affected mainly by the first ionization of the acid.
Oxalic acid is H₂C₂O₄
H₂C₂O₄      ⇄     H⁺   + HC₂O₄⁻
0.0356 M            0          0
0.0356 - x            x          x
Ka1 = \frac{[H^+][HC2O4^-]}{[H2C2O4]} = x² / 0.0356 - x
x = 0.025 M
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (0.025) = 1.6

Cu + 2AgNO3 →
netineya [11]

Answer: 292.54g of Ag

Explanation:

Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass

Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g

From the equation,

63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag

Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e

Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g
