Answer from: aharvitt0417

(a) 0.1000 M Propanoic acid, Ka=1.3x10-5 pH=2.94

(b) 0.1000M sodium propanoate, pH=8.94

Explanation:

(a) Propanoic acid is a weak acid, the general equation is:

$HC_{3} H_{5}O_{2}$ ⇄ $H^{+}+C_{3}H_{5} O_{2}^{-}$

At the beginning of the reaction, the initial concentration are:

HC3H5O2=0.1

H+=0

C3H5O2=0

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

HC3H5O2= -x

H+= x

C3H5O2= x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations will be the initial concentrations minus the change concentrations:

HC3H5O2= 0.1 -x (1)

H+= x (2)

C3H5O2= x (3)

We need the equation of acid ionization constant:

$K_{a}___HC_3H_5O_2$ = $\frac{[H^+][C_3H_5O_2]^-}{[HC_3H_5O_2]}$ (4)

We should replace the concentrations in the equation (4) with the concentrations in the equilibrium. Eq (1), (2) and (3)

Ka= $\frac{x*x}{0.1000-x}$ (5)

As this acid dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

Ka= $\frac{x*x}{0.1}$

$Ka= \frac{x^2}{0.1}\\Ka*0.1000= {x^2}\\x= \sqrt{Ka*0.1} \\x= \sqrt{1.3x10x^{-5} *0.1} \\x=\sqrt{1,3x10x^{-6} } \\x= 1.14x10x^{-3}$

We found x, so we know [H+]

The equation to find the pH is:

$pH= -Log [H^{+} ]\\pH=-Log(1.14x10^{-3} )\\pH=2.94$

(b) Sodium propanoate is a salt. The sodium propanoate comes from a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid HC3H5O2

The hydrolysis reaction for the anion is:

C_3H_5O_2^- + H_2O ⇄ HC_3H_5O_2 + OH^- (6)

In this chemical equation the water donates hydrogen so it behaves like a base . We need basic ionization constant ( $K_{b_C_3H_5O_2^-}$ )

To find Kb, we have the follow equation:

$Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}$ (7)

We know the water constant (Kw=1x10-14) and we have the acid ionization constant if Propanoic acid (Ka= 1.3x10-5)

Using the equation (7):

$Kb=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1.3x10^{-5}}$

Kb=7.69x10-10

In the hydrolysis reaction (6) , the initial concentrations are:

C3H5O2= 0.1

OH- = 0

HC3H5O2 = 0

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

C3H5O2= -x

OH- = x

HC3H5O2 = x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations are:

C3H5O2= 0.1 - x (8)

OH- = x (9)

HC3H5O2 = x (10)

We need the equation of basic ionization constant, this equation is:

Kb= $\frac{[OH^-][HC_3H_5O_2]}{[C_3H_5O_2]}$ (11)

We should replace the concentrations in the equation (11) with the concentrations in the equilibrium

Kb= $\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}$ (12)

As this salt dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

so the solution of the equation (12) is:

Kb= $\frac{x*x}{0.1}$

Kb= \frac{x^2}{0.1}\\Kb*0.1= {x^2}\\x= \sqrt{Kb*0.1} \\x= \sqrt{7.69x10^{-10} *0.1} \\x= 8.77x10x^{-6}[/tex]

We found x, so we know OH-

The equation to find the pOH is:

pOH= -Log [OH-]

pOH= -Log(8.77x10-6)

pOH=5.06

To find the pH we know:

pH + pOH = 14 (13)

pH = 8.94

We need 2 chemical reactions, when the salt dissociates:

NaC_3H_5O_2 → $Na^{+} + C_3H_5O_2^{-}$ (14)

The initial concentrations are:

NaC3H5O2=0.1

Na+=0

C3H5O2=0

At the end of the reaction (14), the concentrations are:

NaC3H5O2= 0 (15)

Na+= 0.1 (16)

C3H5O2= 0.1 (17)

The second chemical reaction is:

$HC_{3} H_{5}O_{2}$ ⇄ $H^{+}+C_{3}H_{5} O_{2}^{-}$ (18)

At the beginning of the reaction, the initial concentration are:

HC3H5O2=0.1

H+=0

C3H5O2=0.1 (This is the final concentration when the salt was dissociated eq. (17))

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

HC3H5O2= -x

H+= x

C3H5O2= x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations are:

HC3H5O2=0.1 - x

H+= x

C3H5O2=0.1 + x

We need the equation of acid ionization constant, this equation is:

$K_{a}___HC_3H_5O_2$ = $\frac{[H^+][C_3H_5O_2]^-}{[HC_3H_5O_2]}$

We should replace the concentrations in the last equation with the concentrations in the equilibrium.

Ka= $\frac{x*(0.1+x)}{0.1-x}$ (19)

As this acid dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

Ka= $\frac{x*(0.1+x)}{0.1}$

$Ka*(0.1)=x(0.1+x)\\Ka*0.1=0.1x+x^2\\Ka*0.1-(0.1*x)-x^2=0\\$

$1.3x10^{-6}-(0.1*x)-x^2=0$ (20)

Equation 20 is solved using the quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ (21)

Using the equation (21) we know the coefficients are:

a= -1

b= -0.1000

c= 1.3x10-6

The solution to the equation (21):

x1= - 0.1

x2= 1.3x10-5

We know the concentrations should be positives so the correct answer is 1.3x10-5

Now we know [H+]

The equation to find the ph is:

$pH= -Log [H^{+} ]\\pH=-Log(1.3x10^{-5} )\\pH=4.89$

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)
