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 chemical change has occured if the number of atoms is greater after the reaction than it was before the reaction.
diamong [38]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is not correct to assert that a chemical change has occurred if the number of atoms is greater after the reaction than it was before the reaction.

For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass must be strictly adhered.

The law states that "during a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, atoms are simply rearranged".

By the virtue of this law, the number of atoms at the beginning and the end of the reaction must remain the same for this law to be applicable.
