Answer from: aharvitt0417

(a) 0.1000 M Propanoic acid, Ka=1.3x10-5 pH=2.94

(b) 0.1000M sodium propanoate, pH=8.94

Explanation:

(a) Propanoic acid is a weak acid, the general equation is:

$HC_{3} H_{5}O_{2}$ ⇄ $H^{+}+C_{3}H_{5} O_{2}^{-}$

At the beginning of the reaction, the initial concentration are:

HC3H5O2=0.1

H+=0

C3H5O2=0

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

HC3H5O2= -x

H+= x

C3H5O2= x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations will be the initial concentrations minus the change concentrations:

HC3H5O2= 0.1 -x (1)

H+= x (2)

C3H5O2= x (3)

We need the equation of acid ionization constant:

$K_{a}___HC_3H_5O_2$ = $\frac{[H^+][C_3H_5O_2]^-}{[HC_3H_5O_2]}$ (4)

We should replace the concentrations in the equation (4) with the concentrations in the equilibrium. Eq (1), (2) and (3)

Ka= $\frac{x*x}{0.1000-x}$ (5)

As this acid dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

Ka= $\frac{x*x}{0.1}$

$Ka= \frac{x^2}{0.1}\\Ka*0.1000= {x^2}\\x= \sqrt{Ka*0.1} \\x= \sqrt{1.3x10x^{-5} *0.1} \\x=\sqrt{1,3x10x^{-6} } \\x= 1.14x10x^{-3}$

We found x, so we know [H+]

The equation to find the pH is:

$pH= -Log [H^{+} ]\\pH=-Log(1.14x10^{-3} )\\pH=2.94$

(b) Sodium propanoate is a salt. The sodium propanoate comes from a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid HC3H5O2

The hydrolysis reaction for the anion is:

C_3H_5O_2^- + H_2O ⇄ HC_3H_5O_2 + OH^- (6)

In this chemical equation the water donates hydrogen so it behaves like a base . We need basic ionization constant ( $K_{b_C_3H_5O_2^-}$ )

To find Kb, we have the follow equation:

$Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}$ (7)

We know the water constant (Kw=1x10-14) and we have the acid ionization constant if Propanoic acid (Ka= 1.3x10-5)

Using the equation (7):

$Kb=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1.3x10^{-5}}$

Kb=7.69x10-10

In the hydrolysis reaction (6) , the initial concentrations are:

C3H5O2= 0.1

OH- = 0

HC3H5O2 = 0

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

C3H5O2= -x

OH- = x

HC3H5O2 = x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations are:

C3H5O2= 0.1 - x (8)

OH- = x (9)

HC3H5O2 = x (10)

We need the equation of basic ionization constant, this equation is:

Kb= $\frac{[OH^-][HC_3H_5O_2]}{[C_3H_5O_2]}$ (11)

We should replace the concentrations in the equation (11) with the concentrations in the equilibrium

Kb= $\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}$ (12)

As this salt dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

so the solution of the equation (12) is:

Kb= $\frac{x*x}{0.1}$

Kb= \frac{x^2}{0.1}\\Kb*0.1= {x^2}\\x= \sqrt{Kb*0.1} \\x= \sqrt{7.69x10^{-10} *0.1} \\x= 8.77x10x^{-6}[/tex]

We found x, so we know OH-

The equation to find the pOH is:

pOH= -Log [OH-]

pOH= -Log(8.77x10-6)

pOH=5.06

To find the pH we know:

pH + pOH = 14 (13)

pH = 8.94

We need 2 chemical reactions, when the salt dissociates:

NaC_3H_5O_2 → $Na^{+} + C_3H_5O_2^{-}$ (14)

The initial concentrations are:

NaC3H5O2=0.1

Na+=0

C3H5O2=0

At the end of the reaction (14), the concentrations are:

NaC3H5O2= 0 (15)

Na+= 0.1 (16)

C3H5O2= 0.1 (17)

The second chemical reaction is:

$HC_{3} H_{5}O_{2}$ ⇄ $H^{+}+C_{3}H_{5} O_{2}^{-}$ (18)

At the beginning of the reaction, the initial concentration are:

HC3H5O2=0.1

H+=0

C3H5O2=0.1 (This is the final concentration when the salt was dissociated eq. (17))

After the beginning of the reaction, the concentrations change:

HC3H5O2= -x

H+= x

C3H5O2= x

When the reaction reaches the equilibrium, the final concentrations are:

HC3H5O2=0.1 - x

H+= x

C3H5O2=0.1 + x

We need the equation of acid ionization constant, this equation is:

$K_{a}___HC_3H_5O_2$ = $\frac{[H^+][C_3H_5O_2]^-}{[HC_3H_5O_2]}$

We should replace the concentrations in the last equation with the concentrations in the equilibrium.

Ka= $\frac{x*(0.1+x)}{0.1-x}$ (19)

As this acid dissociates in very low concentrations, we use the approximation x = 0

Therefore we assume that 0.1 - x will be approximately equal to 0.1

Ka= $\frac{x*(0.1+x)}{0.1}$

$Ka*(0.1)=x(0.1+x)\\Ka*0.1=0.1x+x^2\\Ka*0.1-(0.1*x)-x^2=0\\$

$1.3x10^{-6}-(0.1*x)-x^2=0$ (20)

Equation 20 is solved using the quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ (21)

Using the equation (21) we know the coefficients are:

a= -1

b= -0.1000

c= 1.3x10-6

The solution to the equation (21):

x1= - 0.1

x2= 1.3x10-5

We know the concentrations should be positives so the correct answer is 1.3x10-5

Now we know [H+]

The equation to find the ph is:

$pH= -Log [H^{+} ]\\pH=-Log(1.3x10^{-5} )\\pH=4.89$

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
