An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propionic acid (HC2H5CO2) with a 1.1000M solution of KOH. The pKa of proionic acid 4.89.

Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 41.04mL of the KOH solution to it.

Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of solution added. Round your answer to decimal places.

Answer from: numb2000

The pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KOH:

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol$

For propanoic acid:

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol$

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O$

Initial: 0.1372 0.04514

Final: 0.09206 - 0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})$

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

$[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}$

$[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58$

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

Answer from: Quest

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
