Question

The Ka of trichloroaceticacid(cl3CCOOH)is [cl3CC00^-][H+]/[cl3CC00H] = 0.10M in water. Consider an aqueous solution containing neutral trichloroaceticacid and the cl3ccoo-anion in equilibrium What is the pKa of cl3cCOOH? What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H+], at pH 2? What is the ratio of the concentrations of trichloroaceticacid ion to trichloroaceticacid. [CL3CCOOO-]/[CL3CC00H]. atpH 2? THE Ka of trichloroaceticacid (CH_3CH_2)3NH+is (CH_3CH_2)3NH+ [H+]/[ (CH_3CH_2)3NH+] 10^-11M in water. Consider an aqueous solution containing neutral trifluoropropanoic acid and the (CH_3CH_2)3N an ion in equilibrium. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H+], at Ph10? What is the ratio of die concentrations of trifluoropropanoate ion to (CH_3CH_2)3N/(CH_3CH_2)3NH+at pH 10?

Explanation / Answer

Answer – IV) Given, Ka for trichloroacetic acid = 0.10 M

A)We know the pKa for Cl3CCOOH

We know formula

pKa = -log Ka

        = - log 0.10

        = 1.0

B) Given, pH = 2.0 , it is strong acid, since Ka value is big

We know,

pH = -log [H+]

so, [H+] = 10-pH

             = 10-2.0

             = 1.0*10-2 M

C) We know Henderson Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log [Cl3CCOO-] / [Cl3CCOOH]

2.0 = 1.0 + log [Cl3CCOO-] / [Cl3CCOOH]

So, log [Cl3CCOO-] / [Cl3CCOOH] = 2.0-1.0

                                                           = 1.0

Taking anitlog from both site

[Cl3CCOO-] / [Cl3CCOOH] = 10

III) A) Given, Ka for triethylammonium ion = 1.0*10-11 M

At pH = 10, [H+] =?

So, pH = -log [H+]

[H+] = 10-pH

         = 10-10.0

         = 1.0*10-10 M

B) We know Henderson Hasselbalch equation

First we need to calculate the pKa

pKa = -log Ka

          = -log 1.0*10-10

          = 10

pH = pKa + log [(CH3CH2)3N] / [(CH3CH2)3NH+]

10.0 = 10.0 + log [(CH3CH2)3N] / [(CH3CH2)3NH+]

So, log [(CH3CH2)3N] / [(CH3CH2)3NH+]= 10.0-10.0

                                                                 = 0.0

Taking antilog form both side

[(CH3CH2)3N] / [(CH3CH2)3NH+] = 1.0
