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

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!

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:
jonny [76]

Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
