Chapter 2, Problem 71P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pKa value ranges of the following acids are to be determined without using a calculator. The exact pKa values of the following acids are to be determined by using a calculator. The stronger acid among the following is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Mixture of acid and base undergoes equilibrium reaction and it’s pka-values determine their direction of reaction.

Weak acids are more stable and less reactive, so equilibrium follows the direction of formation weak acids in a reaction.

Lesser the pka- value of compound will be more acidic. So the equilibrium follows the direction of compounds having low pka-value to the products of high pka value

Acid dissociation constant Ka represents how strong the acid is in a solution. The strength of acid decreases as the value of pKa increases

pKa=logKa

pKa represents the chance of losing proton from a compound.

An open vessel containing water stands in a laboratory measuring 5.0 m x 5.0 m x 3.0 m at 25 °C ; the vapor pressure (vp) of water at this temperature is 3.2 kPa. When the system has come to equilibrium, what mass of water will be found in the air if there is no ventilation? Repeat the calculation for open vessels containing benzene (vp = 13.1 kPa) and mercury (vp = 0.23 Pa)
Every chemist knows to ‘add acid to water with constant stirring’ when diluting a concentrated acid in order to keep the solution from spewing boiling acid all over the place.  Explain how this one fact is enough to prove that strong acids and water do not form ideal solutions.
