Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵

Then;

C₄H₈O₂               -------->            C₄H₇O₂⁻          +           H⁺

I                    0.54x10⁻³                             0                                0

E                   0.54x10⁻³(1-x)                      0.54x10⁻³x                0.54x10⁻³x

Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation

From the ICE table;

Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]

1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)  

1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x

1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

Hence;

0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0

x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation here;

x = 0.154 or −0.182

Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154

Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%

You are given 10ml (M) 20 Naoh solution in a conical flask and asked to titrate with (M) 20 Hcl and (M) 20 H2so4 separately. cal
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

n_{HCl}=0.2molHCl\\n_{H_2SO_4}=0.1molH_2SO_4

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reactions between NaOH and the acids are:

NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O\\\\2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

Whereas we can see the 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratios between NaOH and HCl and H2SO4 respectively. In such a way, at the equivalence point we realize that:

n_{HCl}=n_{NaOH}=V_{NaOH}M_{NaOH}=0.01L*20mol/L=0.2molHCl\\\\2n_{H_2SO_4}=n_{NaOH}\\\\n_{H_2SO_4}=\frac{1}{2} V_{NaOH}M_{NaOH}=\frac{0.01L*20mol/L}{2} =0.1molH_2SO_4

Best regards!
