Chapter 18, Problem 73E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pH of 0.12MHC2H3O2 is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

A strong acid easily releases protons to a base or when dissolved in water. It readily participates in an acid-base reaction. A weak acid undergoes only slight ionization in solution. It does not release protons easily. The major species present in a solution of weak acid is the unionized molecular species. However, some ions are present as minor species. The extent of the ionization is determined by the ionization constant.

Answer to Problem 73E

The pH of 0.12MHC2H3O2 is 5.43.

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate the number of moles of NaC2H3O2 is given below.

NumberofmolesofNaC2H3O2=MassofNaC2H3O2MolarmassofNaC2H3O2…(1)

The mass of NaC2H3O2 is 24.0g.

The molar mass of NaC2H3O2 is 82.03gmol1.

Substitute the mass and molar mass of NaC2H3O2 in equation (1).

NumberofmolesofNaC2H3O2=24.0g82.03gmol1=0.293mol

The volume of the solution is 5.00×102mL.

The relation between L and mL is given below.

1L=1000mL

The probable conversion factors are given below.

1L1000mLand1000mL1L

The conversion factor to determine L from mL is given below.

1L1000mL

Therefore, the volume in liters is calculated below.

Volume=5.00×102mL×1L1000mL=0.50L

The molarity of a solution is calculated by the formula given below.

Molarity=NumberofmolesVolumeofsolutioninliters…(2)

The number of moles of NaC2H3O2 is 0.293mol.

The volume of solution is 0.50L.

Substitute the number of moles and volume of solution in equation (2).

Molarity=0.293mol0.50L=0.586mol/L

The relation between M and mol/L as shown below.

1M=1mol/L

The probable conversion factors are given below.

1M1mol/Land1mol/L1M

The conversion factor to determine M from mol/L is given below.

1M1mol/L

So, 0.586mol/L can be written as shown below.

Molarity=0.586mol/L×1M1mol/L=0.586M

The equation for the dissociation of HC2H3O2 is shown below.

HC2H3O2(aq)C2H3O2(aq)+H+(aq)

The dissociation constant, Ka for the above reaction is given below.

Ka=[C2H3O2][H+][HC2H3O2]…(3)

The concentration of HC2H3O2, [HC2H3O2] is 0.12.

The concentration of C2H3O2, [C2H3O2] is 0.586M.

The value of Ka is 1.8×105.

Substitute the value of Ka, [HC2H3O2] and [C2H3O2] in equation (3).

1.8×105=0.586M×[H+]0.12M[H+]=0.12M×1.8×105M0.586M=3.7×106M

The formula to the pH is given below.

pH=log[H+]…(4)

Substitute the value of [H+] in equation (4).

pH=log[H+]pH=log(3.7×106M)=5.43

Therefore, the pH of 0.12MHC2H3O2 is 5.43.

Conclusion

The pH of 0.12MHC2H3O2 is 5.43.
