Answer:

[H₂A] = 0.2M

[HA⁻] = 0.8M

Explanation:

A compound with 2 ionizable groups has as equilbriums:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ A²⁻ + H⁺

A pH of 6.8 is near to the first equilibrium:

H₂A ⇄ HA⁻ + H pKa = 6.2

To determine concentrations of the acid H₂A and conjugate base HA⁻ we use H-H equation:

pH = pKA + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

6.8 = 6.2 + log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

0.6 = log [HA⁻] / [H₂A]

3.981 = [HA⁻] / [H₂A] <em>(1)</em>

As concentration of the buffer is 1.0M:

1M = [HA⁻] + [H₂A] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3.981 = 1- [H₂A] / [H₂A]

3.981[H₂A] = 1 - [H₂A]

4.981 [H₂A] = 1

[H₂A] = 0.2M

And [HA] = 1M - 0.2M = 0.8M

What is the average atomic mass of the element?
morpeh [17]

The average atomic mass of element X is 14.007 u.

The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,  

0.996 36 × 14.003 u =13.952 03 u

0.003 64 × 15.000 u = <u>0.054 60 u</u>

__________TOTAL = 14.007     u
