Question
Explanation / Answer
1. Monoprotic acid
1) pKa of acid = pH at first half equivalence point = 4.65
2) moles of HA in 25 ml = 0.125 M x 10.8 ml = 1.35 mmol
3) molar mass of acid = g/moles = 6.01 x 1000/1.35 x 40 = 111.30 g/mol
2. Diprotic H2A acid
1) pKa1 = pH at first 1/2 euivalence point = 3.78
pKa2 = 11.34
2) moles of acid = 0.125 M x 25 ml/2 = 1.5625 mmol
molar mass of acid = 10.36 x 1000/40 x 1.5625 = 165.76 g/mol
