Calculate the p H and the concentration of all species present (H3  O+ , A - , HA, and OH - in 0.50 M HA. Ka = 3.5 x 10-6

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Weak acid dissociates as AH + H2O ⇌ A- + H3O+

Ka = [A-][H3O+] / [AH]

but  [A-] = [H3O+] = x

Ka = [x][x] / [AH]

Substitute the value in equation

3.510-6 = [x]2/ 0.50

[x]2 = 3.510-60.50 = 1.7510-6

[x] = 1.322910-3 M

Concentration of H3O+ = 1.322910-3 M

pH = - log[H3O+]

pH = - log 1.322910-3

pH = 2.88

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 2.88 = 11.12

[OH-] = 10-pOH = 10-11.12 = 1.586 10-12

[OH-] = 1.586 10-12

concentration of HA after dissociation = (initial concentration of HA) - [H3O+]

= (0.50) - (1.322910-3) = 0.4986771 M

[HA] = 0.4989771 M
