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

How many moles of O2 are produced when 0.425 mol of KO2 reacts in this fashion
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The chemical reaction is expressed as:

<span> 4KO2+2CO2→2K2CO3+3O2 
</span>
We are given the amount of KO2 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations. We do as follows:

0.425 mol KO2 ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol KO2 ) = 0.319 mol O2 produced

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
