Answer:

a) pH = 2.95

b) pH = 8.94

c) pH = 7.00

d) pH = 4.89

Explanation:

a) The reaction is:

               CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)(1)

At equlibrium:              0.1 - x                                     x                       x

<u>The dissociation constant of equation (1), Ka, is:</u>

K_{a} = \frac{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}]}

1.3\cdot 10^{-5} = \frac{x^{2}}{(0.1 - x)}   (2)

<u>Solving equation (2) for x, we have:</u>

x = 0.00113 = [H₃O⁺] = [CH₃CH₂COO⁻]      

Hence, the pH is:

pH = -log [H_{3}O^{+}] = -log (0.00113) = 2.95

b) The reaction is:  

            CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)  ⇄ CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

At equlibrium:    0.1 - x                                        x                         x  

<u>The dissociation constant of the above equation, Kb, is:</u>  

K_{b} = \frac{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}][OH^{-}]}{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}]}

<u>Also, we have that:</u>

K_{w} = K_{a}*K_{b} \rightarrow K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}} = \frac{1 \cdot 10^{-14}}{1.3 \cdot 10^{-5}} = 7.69 \cdot 10^{-10}

7.69\cdot 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}    (3)

<u>Solving equation (3) for x, we have:</u>

x = 8.77x10⁻⁶ = [OH⁻] = [CH₃CH₂COOH]

Hence, the pH is:

pOH = -log[OH^{-}] = -log(8.77\cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.06 \rightarrow pH = 14 - pOH = 8.94    

c) Pure water:

H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻

K_{w} = [H^{+}][OH^{-}] \rightarrow 1\cdot 10^{-14} = [H^{+}][OH^{-}]

<em>Since is pure water: [H⁺] = [OH⁻]</em>  

1\cdot 10^{-14} = [H^{+}]^{2} \rightarrow [H^{+}] = \sqrt{1\cdot 10^{-14}} = 1 \cdot 10^{-7}

Therefore, the pH is:

pH = -log [H^{+}] = -log (1 \cdot 10^{-7}) = 7.00

d) The reaction is:

          CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)  

At equlibrium:           0.1                                     0.1                        x

The pH is:

pH = pKa + log(\frac{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}]}{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}]}) = -log(1.3 \cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1}{0.1}) = 4.89

I hope it helps you!

Complete the charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of h2co3 that ionizes to hco−3 and co2−3.
Zielflug [23.3K]

The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The equation for aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ is

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂

The charge balance equation is

[HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] =  2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]
