What is the pH of a 0.28 M solution of ascorbic acid

Chemistry

Nady [450]3 years ago

Hey there!

Values Ka1 and Ka2 :

Ka1 => 8.0*10⁻⁵

Ka2 => 1.6*10⁻¹²

H2A + H2O -------> H3O⁺  + HA⁻

 Ka2 is very less so I am not considering that dissociation.

Now Ka = 8.0*10⁻⁵ = [H3O⁺] [HA⁻] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O⁺  = X then above equation will be

8.0*10−5 = [x] [x] / [0.28 -x

8.0*10−5 = x² /  [0.28 -x ]

x² + 8.0*10⁻⁵x  - 2.24 * 10⁻⁵

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = - log [ 0.004693 ]

pH = 2.3285

Hope that helps!

A white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water.
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.

So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.

As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.

Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.

How does convection affect the earths atmosphere
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

I think the layers of the atmosphere does temperature increase with increasing height. It is affected by convection because it heats the lower atmosphere. It is affected by conduction because the is the transfer of thermal energy. I guess
