Determine the approximate pH of this solution )of vinegar to 1 cup (8 total ounces) of water. Calculate the approximate pH of this solution. What is the approximate percent ionization of acetic acid in the solution in part b? Based on the percent ionization was the approximation made to calculate the pH valid? (Answer both questions) c. d. Imagine that you are concerned about getting heartburn from the vinegar-water so you decide to add enough tablets of Alka-SeitzerO to neutralize the drink, Assume that the Alka-Seltzer base. What would be the resulting pH? acts like a strong

Explanation / Answer

Q22

a)

pH approx:

First, assume the acid:

HF

to be HA, for simplicity, so it will ionize as follows:

HA <-> H+ + A-

where, H+ is the proton and A- the conjugate base, HA is molecular acid

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]; by definition

initially

[H+] = 0

[A-] = 0

[HA] = M;

the change

initially

[H+] = + x

[A-] = + x

[HA] = - x

in equilbrirum

[H+] = 0 + x

[A-] = 0 + x

[HA] = M - x

substitute in Ka

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = x*x/(M-x)

x^2 + Kax - M*Ka = 0

if M =0.875 M; then

x^2 + (1.8*10^-5)x - 0.875  *(1.8*10^-5) = 0

solve for x

x =0.003959

substitute

[H+] = 0 + 0.003959= 0.003959 M

pH = -log(H+) = -log(0.003959 ) = 2.40

b)

dilution --> 1/8*0.875 = 0.109375 M

x^2 + Kax - M*Ka = 0

if M =0.109375 M; then

x^2 + (1.8*10^-5)x - 0.109375 *(1.8*10^-5) = 0

solve for x

x =0.001393

substitute

[H+] = 0 + 0.001393= 0.001393M

pH = -log(H+) = -log(0.001393) = 2.86

c)

ionization of b:

%ion = [H+]/HA * 100% = 0.001393/0.109375 *100 = 1.2736 %

d)

if neutralzied.

[Acetate ion] = 0.8 M approx

then

pH = will be basic, since

A- + H2O <-> HA + OH-

form hydrolysis

pH wil be approx = 8-9
