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!

Calcium (Ca) and diatomic oxygen (O2) combine to form calcium oxide (CaO). The data table below compares the properties of these
Elenna [48]

A chemical reaction occurred because calcium oxide has different properties than calcium and diatomic oxygen. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are chemical reactions?</h3>

A chemical reaction is said to occur when the chemical properties of substances change during the course of the reaction.

From the illustration, the chemical properties of calcium oxide are unique from that of calcium and oxygen. Thus, calcium oxide has become a new substance entirely.

Once a reaction leads to the formation of new substances, such a reaction is a chemical reaction.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option C is false statement. The half life of a second order reaction is not dependent on concentration.

Explanation:

Half life of a reaction is defined as the amount of time which is required for a reactant concentration reduced by half comparison to its initial concentration.

Half life of a second order reaction is depend on the initial concentration of a reaction, in contrast to 1st order reaction.

The process by which the movement of internal bonds converts one type of what organic compound into another is
nevsk [136]

Answer: It's is called Reaarrangement

Explanation:

Rearrangement is a chemic reaction in which an atom or group of atoms bond migrate from one carbon atom to another. The movement involves two adjacent atoms and move over a large distance. It is important in functional group transformation.

Reaarrangement can be classified based on the atom or group of atoms it migrate.

Nucleophilic rearrangement which involves the migration of atoms with electron pairs.

Electrophilic migration involved the migration of atom or groups without electron pair.

Free radical involves the atom or group of atoms moving with a lone pair of electron.
