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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 years ago
3 0

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!

Why do solids expand on heating?
sdas [7]

Explanation:

The molecules of solids are shrinked in there normal state . but as a heat energy is produced , the molecules starts curating fast and fast as temperature goes up . since they vibrate , they hit and collide each other breaking the bondings this increases the surface of area of the solid , and molecules consumes that space and they expand .

PLLLLLLLZ HELP IS NEEDED ASAP I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

1)Reactants

2)Light

3)An item that can increase reaction rates

4)Reactants must collide with each other

Less molecules lower the chance for collisions

The more collisions there are the higher the reaction rate

Use this chemical equation to answer the following questions: Cl + O3 ➞ ClO + O2
barxatty [35]

Explanation:

1. Elements are substances made of the same kind of atoms, unlike compounds that are combination for different kinds of atoms. The elements in the reaction therefore are;

Cl and O₃

2. Yes, the equation is balanced. There is the same number of each element on either side of the equation. One (1) CL and three (3) O atoms.

3. Ozone is reduced. Other the other hand, Cl is oxidized. Remember a reduction reaction may involve the loss of one or more oxygen atoms or the acceptance of electrons. This occurs for O₃ which is reduced to O₂.

4. The equation complies with the conservation of matter as in the first law of thermodynamics. The number of atoms for each element on the other side of the equation remains the same. This means no matter(which also translated to energy) has been created or destroyed in the process.
