Hey könnte jemand mir bei dieser Chemie Aufgabe helfen?
Der pH-Wert einer wässrigen Natriumacetat-Lösung mit einer Konzentration von 4 mol L-1 beträgt
9,68 (pKg = 9,25). Zu einem Liter dieser Lösung werden 98 g reine (100 %-ige) Schwefelsäure
hinzugegeben. Wie groß ist der pH-Wert der entstehenden Lösung?
Atommassen: S: 32 u; H: 1 u; O: 16 u
So we have four moles of sodium acetate and one mole of sulfuric acid in the same solution. Each molecule H2SO4 eats two acetates:
H2SO4 + 2 CH3CO2 ̄ SO42 ̄ + 2 CH3COOH
and forms therefrom two molecules of acetic acid.
So we converted from the initially four moles of acetate two to acetic acid, and two remain. Finally, we get a solution with the same amount of acetate as acetic acid, i.e. a symmetrical buffer, i.e. pH=pKa=4.75.
A few questions could still be raised:
Oh, no, this is the pKa of sodium acetate. But thank you! I just don’t understand where you know the pKa is 4.75?
14-9.25=4.75
Hey, I don’t understand how to adjust the reaction to 2 CH3COOH, so why the two in front? Without 2 the equation is stoichiometrically balanced? Thank you
The reaction equation had a typing error, right is it
H2SO4 + 2 CH3CO2 ̄ SO42 ̄ + 2 CH3COOH
Somehow, the two before the acetate were lost when tipping, when I considered it correctly (each H2SO4 eats) two Acetates’. Of course I better get it in the answer.
I briefly indicated this in the answer: The sulfuric acid is two-basic, so it can theoretically react with the acetate in two ways (it can release one or two H+):
H2SO4 + CH3CO2 ̄ ⟶ HSO4 ̄ + CH3COOH
H2SO4 + 2 CH3CO2 ̄ SO42 ̄ + 2 CH3COOH
Both reactions could in principle proceed and do so under different conditions:
When solving your task, you do not know the pH of the solution at the end, so you must appreciate: if you expect a pH>2, then you select the 1:2 ratio between H2SO4 and CH3CO2 ̄, otherwise 1:1. As I have experience with such things, I have made it right, but if I had found myself for the matter, then I would have noticed it at the end because the result does not fit to accept pH2. Here false Invoice:
If we modify the task in such a way that one liter of 2-molar H2 SO4 is reacted with 1 mol of solid CH3 CO2, then one mole of acetic acid +HSO4 ̄ plus one mole of unused H2 SO4, and the solution has quite exactly pH=2.
Jaa understands achso thank you, but how do you know that? So how do I know, then sulfuric acid the two acetate, ‘freeze’, you can see that on the basis of the equation of reaction, but can you find that otherwise? Evtl. Because they thought h2so4 was 2 protonig, so? I’m trying to understand the task, but it’s a bit difficult for me! Thank you
In order to calculate the pH of the resulting solution, we first have to take into account the pH of the sodium acetate solution and then the action of the added sulfuric acid.
1. Calculate the pH of the sodium acetate solution:
We know that the pKb value for sodium acetate is 9.25.
Since the pH is given (9.68), the solution is basic. We can calculate the pOH value: pOH = 14 – pH = 14 – 9.68 = 4.32.
Then we use the equation pOH = pKb + log([Acetat]/[Essig Acid]) (for a weak base) to calculate [Acetat]/[Essig Acid].
9,25 = -log(Kb) + log([Acetat]/[acetic acid])
Since [acetate] and [acetic acid] are present in the same concentration and are therefore shortened, we can simplify:
9,25 = -log(Kb)
Kb = 10^(-9,25)
Since we know Kb, we can now calculate [Acetat]/[acetic acid].
Two. Calculate the pH after addition of sulfuric acid:
The added sulfuric acid is completely dissociated in water and added to the solution H3 O+.
The concentration of H3 O+ is determined by the dissociation of sulfuric acid:
H2SO4 -> 2H+ + SO4^2-
The concentration of H3 O+ is therefore 2 * (98 g/98 g/mol) mol/L.
Then use the equation pH = -log([H3O+]) to calculate the pH value.
I hope that will help you solve the task! If you have more questions, let me know.
