Acids and Bases in Water: Reactions and Equilibrium 17 February 2023 CHEM 1212K Laboratory Abstract This experiment's objectives are to calculate pKa values and investigate the trend of % deprotonation at various beginning acid concentrations using equilibrium and acid/base chemistry concepts. The lab primarily examines the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases, which compares acids and bases according to how likely they are to take or give protons. Although the theoretical value of acetic acid is 4.76, the actual value was determined to be 4.40. The unknown acid was identified as ascorbic acid based on the calculated pKa value in part B of the experiment, which also revealed an inverse connection between starting acid concentration and % deprotonation (as concentration declines, deprotonation rises). In part C of the lab, the pH of salt solutions was measured in order to identify whether they were basic or acidic. It was discovered that the solution of the measured salt, ammonium chloride, was slightly acidic. Because acetic acid was discovered to transfer protons to water to produce the hydronium ion, which resulted in a low pH and a lower pKa, the laboratory's findings provide evidence in favor of the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases. The salt solutions in part C of the experiment followed the predicted pH levels based on theories of conjugate acids and bases, further supporting the idea. The Bronsted-Lowry hypothesis is supported, for instance, by the observation that in the ammonium chloride solution, the ion with the weakest conjugate base is the one that interacts with water.

Because the chloride ion is the conjugate base of a strong acid, it is too weak of a base to react with water and only the ammonium ion will react with water. The reaction of the ammonium ion and water is given below: ࠵?࠵?

The reaction above shows that the ammonium ion is acting as an acid and the resulting solution should have a pH lower than 7. When the pH was observed during the experiment, the value was 3.9, resulting in ammonium chloride to be an acidic salt.
