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.

What is the name of the molecule below?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

C.) 2-butyne

Explanation:

Since the molecule has 4 central carbons, it has the prefix but-.

Since the molecule has a triple bond between central carbons, it has an ending of -yne.

Since the triple bond starts on the second carbon, it has a 2 - prefix.

How do the strength and the cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil change with the addition of water?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.

Explanation:

Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.
