<span>In a titration, the substance that is unknown and being identified is called analyte. A titration is where a known solution or concentration called the titrant is used to identify and measure an unknown substance which is the analyte.</span>
Answer:
67.4 % of C₉H₈O₄
Explanation:
To make titrations problems we know, that in the endpoint:
mmoles of acid = mmoles of base
mmoles = M . volume so:
mmoles of acid = 20.52 mL . 0.1121 M
mmoles of acid = mg of acid / PM (mg /mmoles)
Let's determine the PM of aspirin:
12.017 g/m . 9 + 1.00078 g/m . 8 + 15.9994 g/m . 4 = 180.1568 mg/mmol
mass (mg) = (20.52 mL . 0.1121 M) . 180.1568 mg/mmol
mass (mg) = 414.4 mg
We convert the mass to g → 414.4 mg . 1g / 1000mg = 0.4144 g
We determine the % → (0.4144 g / 0.615 g) . 100 = 67.4 %
When a bond is broken that should be a type of reaction. When bonds are broken sometimes heat is released.
Answer : The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
Explanation :
The mixture consists of carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) and bicarbonate ion ( HCO₃⁻). This represents a mixture of weak acid and its conjugate which is a buffer.
The pH of a buffer is calculated using Henderson equation which is given below.
![pH = pKa + log \frac{[Base]}{[Acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%20%3D%20pKa%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D)
We have been given,
pH = 7.5
pKa of carbonic acid = 6.3
Let us plug in the values in Henderson equation to find the ratio Base/Acid.
![7.5 = 6.3 + log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7.5%20%3D%206.3%20%2B%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![1.2 = log \frac{[base]}{[acid]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1.2%20%3D%20log%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Bbase%5D%7D%7B%5Bacid%5D%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 10^{1.2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B1.2%7D)
![\frac{[Base]}{[Acid]} = 15.8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BBase%5D%7D%7B%5BAcid%5D%7D%20%3D%2015.8)
![[Base] = 15.8 \times [Acid]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBase%5D%20%3D%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D)
The total of mole fraction of acid and base is 1. Therefore we have,
![[Acid] + [Base] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%20%5BBase%5D%20%3D%201)
But Base = 15.8 x [Acid]. Let us plug in this value in above equation.
![[Acid] + 15.8 \times [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%2B%2015.8%20%5Ctimes%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![16.8 [Acid] = 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=16.8%20%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%201)
![[Acid] = \frac{1}{16.8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B16.8%7D)
![[Acid] = 0.0595](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAcid%5D%20%3D%200.0595)
[Acid] = 0.0595 x 100 = 5.95 %
The fraction of carbonic acid present in the blood is 5.95%
