You determine that it takes 26.0 mL of base to neutralize a sample of your unknown acid solution. The pH of the solution when ex

actly 13 mL of base had been added was 2.75. You notice that the concentration of the unknown acid was 0.1 M.
a. What are the Ka and the pKa of your unknown acid? (Show work)
b. After finishing your calculations, you discover that the actual concentration of the unknown acid was 0.35 M. How would this affect your calculation of the pKa?

Answer:

a. 1.78x10⁻³ = Ka

2.75 = pKa

b. It is irrelevant.

Explanation:

a. The neutralization of a weak acid, HA, with a base can help to find Ka of the acid.

Equilibrium is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

And Ka is defined as:

Ka = [H⁺] [A⁻] / [HA]

The HA reacts with the base, XOH, thus:

HA + XOH → H₂O + A⁻ + X⁺

As you require 26.0mL of the base to consume all HA, if you add 13mL, the moles of HA will be the half of the initial moles and, the other half, will be A⁻

That means:

[HA] = [A⁻]

It is possible to obtain pKa from H-H equation (Equation used to find pH of a buffer), thus:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

Replacing:

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

As [HA] = [A⁻]

2.75 = pKa + log₁₀ 1

<h3>2.75 = pKa</h3>

Knowing pKa = -log Ka

2.75 = -log Ka

10^-2.75 = Ka

<h3>1.78x10⁻³ = Ka</h3>

b. As you can see, the initial concentration of the acid was not necessary. The only thing you must know is that in the half of the titration, [HA] = [A⁻]. Thus, the initial concentration of the acid doesn't affect the initial calculation.

Given the information you now know, what is the effect of hyperventilation on blood pH?pH? During hyperventilation, the rapid in
Ksju [112]

Answer:

When hypercapnia processes occur, where the concentration of carbon dioxide gas increases in the blood, the protonization of the blood increases, this means that the H + ions increase in concentration, thus generating metabolic acidosis.

This metabolic acidosis is regulated by various systems, but the respiratory system collaborates by generating hyperventilation, to increase blood oxygen pressures, decrease CO2 emissions, and indirectly decrease acidity.

Explanation:

This method of regulating the body is crucial, since the proteins in our body will not be altered if they do not happen.

The enzymes, the red globules, and many more fundamental things for life ARE PROTEINS, that in front of acidic media these modify their structure by denaturing themselves and ceasing to fulfill their functions. This is the reason why it seeks to neutralize the blood pH when it comes to an increase in CO2.

Why sodium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity in solid state?​
aev [14]

Answer:

Because the electrons in this ionic compound arent free to move and so cannot carry charge. For an iconic compound to conduct electricity it must be a liquid, either in a molten form or dissolved in water.
