Benzoic acid is a natural fungicide that naturally occurs in many fruits and berries. The sodium salt of benzoic acid, sodium be

nzoate, is a common additive in food products; it is used for its ability to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria. Consider the titration of a 50.0 ml sample of 0.300 M benzoic acid (HC7H5O2) with 0.250 M NaOH. The ka for benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10-5
a. Calculate the pH after 20.0 mL of base has been added
b. Calculate the pH at the equivalent point (make sure to note any assumptions that have been made)
c. Calculate the pH after 100 mL of the base has been added

Answer:

a. pH = 2.52

b. pH = 8.67

c. pH = 12.83

Explanation:

The equation of the titration between the benzoic acid and NaOH is:

C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻ ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O    (1)

a. To find the pH after the addition of 20.0 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂H and NaOH:

\eta_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.250 M*0.020 L = 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = C*V = 0.300 M*0.050 L = 0.015 moles  

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles of benzoic acid remaining:

\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i - \eta_{NaOH} = 0.015 moles - 5.00 \cdot 10^{-3} moles = 0.01 moles

The concentration of benzoic acid is:

C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.01 moles}{(0.020 + 0.050) L} = 0.14 M

Now, from the dissociation equilibrium of benzoic acid we have:

C₆H₅CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺  

0.14 - x                            x                x

Ka = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H]}

Ka = \frac{x*x}{0.14 - x}

6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0   (2)  

By solving equation (2) for x we have:          

x = 0.0030 = [C₆H₅CO₂⁻] = [H₃O⁺]

Finally, the pH is:

pH = -log([H_{3}O^{+}]) = -log (0.0030) = 2.52

b. At the equivalence point, the benzoic acid has been converted to its conjugate base for the reaction with NaOH so, the equilibrium equation is:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O  ⇄  C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻     (3)

The number of moles of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

\eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}} = \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H}i = 0.015 moles

The volume of NaOH added is:

V = \frac{\eta}{C} = \frac{0.015 moles}{0.250 M} = 0.060 L

The concentration of C₆H₅CO₂⁻ is:

C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.015 moles}{(0.060 L + 0.050 L)} = 0.14 M

From the equilibrium of equation (3) we have:

C₆H₅CO₂⁻ + H₂O  ⇄  C₆H₅CO₂H + OH⁻  

0.14 - x                              x               x

Kb = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H][OH^{-}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}^{-}]}

(\frac{Kw}{Ka})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0

(\frac{1.00 \cdot 10^{-14}}{6.5 \cdot 10^{-5}})*(0.14 - x) - x^{2} = 0

By solving the equation above for x, we have:

x = 4.64x10⁻⁶ = [C₆H₅CO₂H] = [OH⁻]

The pH is:

pOH = -log[OH^{-}] = -log(4.64 \cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.33

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.33 = 8.67

     

c. To find the pH after the addition of 100 mL of NaOH we need to find the number of moles of NaOH:

\eta_{NaOH}i = C*V = 0.250 M*0.100 L = 0.025 moles

From the reaction between the benzoic acid and NaOH we have the following number of moles remaining:                              

\eta_{NaOH} = \eta_{NaOH}i - \eta_{C_{6}H_{5}CO_{2}H} = 0.025 moles - 0.015 moles = 0.010 moles                          

The concentration of NaOH is:

C = \frac{\eta}{V} = \frac{0.010 moles}{0.100 L + 0.050 L} = 0.067 M

Therefore, the pH is given by this excess of NaOH:         

pOH = -log([OH^{-}]) = -log(0.067) = 1.17

pH = 14 - pOH = 12.83

I hope it helps you!

How might an antioxidant prevent another element from gaining or losing an electron?
Maslowich

Answer:

An antioxidant helps in the mopping up and elimination of free radicals and a common example is Glutathione. Oxidation reactions Involves the transfer of electrons or addition of oxygen to a substance.

Antioxidants help in decreasing or prevention of the oxidation of the molecules due to free radicals being formed which causes damage in the cells of animals.

What relationship does Avogadro's law describe?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

D. The relationship between volume and moles

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between the volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains the same number of molecules or moles".

Mathematically:

                         V ∝ n (P,T constant)
