Shovw all work (where appropriate) for full credit. You may use a separate sheet but place your answer on this sheet and staple your work to it. A250 mL of a 0.0450 M aqueous solution of an organic acid, HA, was found to have a pH of 3.20. Determine the pK, of this organic acid. 1. 2. Aniline (mol. mass- 93.13 g/mol, density-1.0217 g/ml, mp -6.3 °C) is an important reagent for the synthesis of dyes such as indigo which is used to color "blue jeans". It is isolated from crude oil. In solution, aniline behaves as a weak base. Determine the Kb for aniline, if a solution prepared by dissolving 0.1863 g of aniline in enough water to prepare 250.0 ml of solution was found to have a pH of 8.418. Aniine over

Explanation / Answer

1)

use:

pH = -log [H+]

3.2 = -log [H+]

[H+] = 6.31*10^-4 M

HA dissociates as:

HA -----> H+ + A-

4.5*10^-2 0 0

4.5*10^-2-x x x

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

Ka = x*x/(c-x)

Ka = 6.31*10^-4*6.31*10^-4/(0.045-6.31*10^-4)

Ka = 8.973*10^-6

use:

pKa = -log Ka

= -log (8.973*10^-6)

= 5.05

Answer: 5.05
