The ka of phosphoric acid, h3po4, is 7.6  10–3 at 25 °c. for the reaction h3po4(aq) h2po4 – (aq) + h+ (aq) ∆h° = –14.2 kj/mol. what is the ka of h3po4 at 60 °c?

Use the van't Hoff equation: ln ( K2 K1 ) = Δ Hº R ( 1 T1 ⒠1 T2 ) ln ( K2 7.6*10^-3 ) = -14,200 J 8.314 ( 1 298 ⒠1 333 ) ln ( K2 7.6*10^-3 ) = ⒠1708 ( 0.00035 ) ln ( K2 0.0076 ) = ⒠0.598 Apply log rule a = log b b a -0.598 = ln ( e ⒠0.598 ) = ln ( 1 e 0.598 ) Multiply both sides with e^0.598 K 2 e 0.598 = 0.0076 K e 0.598 e 0.598 = 0.0076 e 0.598 K 2 = 0.0076 e 0.598 = 4.2 ⋅ 10 ⒠3 K2 = 4.2 ⋅ 10 ⒠3

Ithink it's carbonic acid
