a) What is the concentration of a solution prepared by mixing 35.0 mL of o.10 Macetic acid with 15.0 mL of water? b) Calculate [H;O*], [C:H;Oz¯ ], and [HC2H;O2] in this solution. c) What is the pH of this solution?
Parts A-C (These are NOT graded, this is prep work to learn do a lab assignment so I can do the actual lab correctly)
a) Given : Concentration of acetic acid i.e HC2H3O2 taken = 0.10 M
Volume of HC2H3O2 solution taken = 35 mL
And volume of water added = 15 mL
=> Volume of final solution = volume of initial HC2H3O2 solution + volume of water added = 35 + 15 = 50 mL
Since only water is being added in the solution. Hence moles of HC2H3O2 present will be same in initial and final solution.
=> Moles of HC2H3O2 in initial solution = moles of HC2H3O2 in final solution
Since moles = concentration X volume of solution
=> Concentration of initial solution X volume of initial solution = concentration of final solution X volume of final solution
=> 0.10 X 35 = concentration of final solution X 50
=> concentration of final HC2H3O2 solution = 0.07 M
