(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of Keq for the given reaction needs to be determined, if pKas of phenol and carbonic acid are 10.0 and 6.4 respectively.

Concept Introduction: The pH of buffer solutions can be calculated with the help of Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used that gives the relation between pH and pKa for weak acids.

  pH = pKa +  log [Conjugated base][Acid]pOH = pKb + log [Salt][base]

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason of sodium bicarbonate to be a suitable base for separating phenol from a neutral organic compound needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: The pH of buffer solutions can be calculated with the help of Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used that gives the relation between pH and pKa for weak acids.

  pH = pKa +  log [Conjugated base][Acid]pOH = pKb + log [Salt][base]

A carboxylic acid has a pKa of 6.00. Which of the following statements is true? O A. There is an equimolar ratio of the acid and its conjugate base when the pH is 6.00. B. Half of the acid will be deprotonated when the pH = 3. O C. Half of the acid will be protonated when the pH = 12. D. The acid will be completely neutralized when the pH = 7.00. %3!
Ethyne (HC‚CH) has a pKa value of 25, water has a pKa value of 15.7, and ammonia (NH3) has a pKa value of 36. Draw the equation, showing equilibrium arrows that indicate whether reactants or products are favored, for the acid–base reaction of ethyne with a. HO- . b. -NH2. c. Which would be a better base to use if you wanted to remove a proton from ethyne, HO- or -NH2?
If you have an unknown phenol, what pH you need to achieve upon re-acidification with HCl to ensure that your phenol is 99.9% back in its neutral form?Assume a pKa of 10 for your phenol, and remember that the pH needs to be 3 units different from the pKa for 99.9% ionization or neutralization.   pH 5 or lower pH 7 or lower pH 13 or lower pH 2 or lower
