Title Determining the dissociation of a weak acid using pH M

Title: Determining the dissociation of a weak acid using pH Measurements

Data:

Molarity of unknown acid 1.0 M

NaOH solution: 0.500 M

Volume of Unknown acid, mL: 20.0 mL

Final Buret Reading, mL: 20.0 mL

Initial Buret Reading, mL: 0.00 mL

Volume of NaOH solution, mL: 20.00 mL

Total Volume of solution, mL: .100 mL

pH reading: 4.82


I need to find the following: Calculating Ka of unknown acid

Initial number of moles for HAn(aq) & OH- (aq)

Number of moles at equilibrium: HAn(aq) & An-

Equilibrium concentration, mol L^-: HAn, An- & H3O^+

Ka ?


Please show work so I can understand it

Solution

M1 = 0.5M

V1 = 20ml

M2 = 1M

V2 = 20ml

total volume = 40ml = 0.04L


pH = -log10[H+]

[H+] = 1.51*10^-5 M

moles = 1.51*10^-5 * 0.1 = 1.51*10^-6 moles

moles of H+ consumed by NaOH = 0.5*0.02 = 0.01 moles



initial moles of H+ = 0.01 + 1.51*10^-6 = 0.010001 moles = 0.01moles

initial moles of acid = 0.02*1 = 0.02moles

let the acid be HA

HA ---> H+ + A-

at eq 0.02-x x x

and x = 0.01

so keq = [H+][A-]/[HA]

keq = x^2/(0.02-x) = 0.001..................ANS


initial moles of HA= 0.02moles

initial moles of OH- = 0.01 moles

moles of HA at eq = 0.02-0.01 = 0.01 moles

moles of A- at eq = x = 0.01 moles

equilibrium concentration

[HA] = 0.010/0.1 = 0.10 M

[A-] = 0.01 / 0.1= 0.1M

[H3O+] = 1.51*10^-5 M
