What does the pKa of the conjugate acid of a base have to be to remove a hydrogen from water (pKa = 15.7) so that the ratio of h
1 answer:
Answer:
The pKa of the conjugate acid is 17.7
Explanation:
If hydrogen is removed from water, the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate acid according to the information given in the question becomes,
Kₐ = [OH⁻]/[H₂O]
Now, we determine the equivalent pKa
pKa = -log[ka]
pKa = -log[100]
pKa = -2
Removal of hydrogen from water is reversible as shown below;
H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + H⁺
15.7 -2
This reaction is reversible, and the difference in pKa = pKa[H₂O] - pKa[H⁺];
pKa of the conjugate acid = 15.7 - (-2) = 17.7
The pKa of the conjugate acid is 17.7

Answer : The value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.
or,
Now we have to calculate the standard cell potential.
Formula used :
where,
= Gibbs free energy = ?
n = number of electrons = 2
F = Faraday constant
= standard e.m.f of cell = +0.5 V
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.
Therefore, the value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F
Answer:
molarity of acid =0.0132 M
Explanation:
We are considering that the unknown acid is monoprotic. Let the acid is HA.
The reaction between NaOH and acid will be:
Thus one mole of acid will react with one mole of base.
The moles of base reacted = molarity of NaOH X volume of NaOH
The volume of NaOH used = Final burette reading - Initial reading
Volume of NaOH used = 22.50-0.55= 21.95 mL
Moles of NaOH = 0.1517X21.95=3.33 mmole
The moles of acid reacted = 3.33 mmole
The molarity of acid will be =
