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!

What is indicated by 'A' in the figure below? A. -VE B. +Ea C. -Ea D. +VE
makkiz [27]

Answer:

+VE

Explanation:

If we look at the reaction profile pictured in the question, we can easily identify A as the enthalpy of the reaction. The enthalpy of reaction (ΔHrxn) is usually defined as the difference between the total enthalpy (heat content) of the products of a reaction and the total enthalpy (heat content) of the reactants in that reaction.

Looking at the figure, we can see that the enthalpy of products is greater than the enthalpy of reactants, hence ∆Hrxn is positive as stated in the answer above.
