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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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!

mario62 [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide -

The gas carbon dioxide has a molecular formula of CO₂ ,

During the burning process of the fossil fuels , carbon dioxide is resealed in numerous amount , which act as a greenhouse gas .

Greenhouse gas - Are the gases which absorbs and release radiation , and are responsible for the greenhouse effect .

The greenhouse gases are - carbon dioxide , water vapor , methane , ozone , nitrous oxide .

Place the following transitions of the hydrogen atom in order from longest to shortest wavelength of the photon emitted. Rank fr
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

7 to 4     (higher  \lambda)

5 to 3

3 to 2

4 to 2   (lower  \lambda)

Explanation:

We can use the Rydberg formula which relates the wavelength of the photon emissions to the principle quantum numbers involved in the transition:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R((\frac{1}{n_1^2})-(\frac{1}{n_2^2}))

with n_1 final n, and n_2 initial n

evaluating for each transition:

7 to 4 \frac{1}{\lambda} = R((\frac{1}{4^2})-(\frac{1}{7^2}))= R(1/16-1/49)=R(0.042)

5 to 3 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/9-1/25)=R(0.071)

4 to 2 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/4-1/16)=R(0.1875)

3 to 2 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/4-1/9)=R(0.139)

Note that the above formula is written for \frac{1}{\lambda}, so lower \frac{1}{\lambda} value obtained involves higher \lambda.

So we should order from lower to higher \frac{1}{\lambda}

7 to 4     (higher  \lambda)

5 to 3

3 to 2

4 to 2   (lower  \lambda)

Note: Take into account that longer wavelength involves lower energy (E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}).
