trying to solve question 2 part a and b.
Explanation / Answer
2)
Dissociation of a weak monoprotic acid –
HA(aq) <======> H3O+ + A-
Ka = [H3O+][A]/[HA]
The midpoint of a titration is the point at which exactly enough acid (or base) has been added to neutralize one-half of the acid (or the base) originally present and occurs halfway to the equivalence point.
Then Ka = [H3O+]
Taking the negative logarithm of both sides,
logKa = log [H3O+]
logKa= pKa
log [H3O+] = pH
So, pKa=pH
Thus the pH at the midpoint of the titration of a weak acid is equal to the pKa of the weak acid
logKa= pKa
Ka = 10^-PKa
Ka = 10^ -4.35 = 4.47 x 10^ -5
a)
Calculate the moles of the base-
Moles of the base = L base x M base
= 24.00/1000 x 0.1068
= 0.002563 moles
Moles of acid in 25ml sample-
Moles of acid = Moles of base 0.002563 moles = 2.56 x 10^-3 moles
Molarity of acid Moles of acid/L of acid = 2.56 x 10^-3 moles /0.025L
Molarity of acid = 0.102528 M
Mb Vb = Ma Va
0.1068 x 24 = 0.1025 Va
Va = 0.1068 x 24/0.102528 = 25 ml
b) At given condition equivalence point occur when 25ml of 0.102528 M monoprotic acid is titrated with 24 ml of 1068 M NaOH.
