Chapter 3, Problem 3.13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of pKa for an acid that has 103 dissociation constant is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

The formula used to calculate the value of pKa is shown below.

pKa=logKa

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The value of pKa for an acid that has 5.8×106 dissociation constant is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

The formula used to calculate the value of pKa is shown below.

pKa=logKa

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The value of pKa for an acid that has 50 dissociation constant is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Dissociation constant Ka is used to measure the strength of a Brønsted acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of a Brønsted acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.

The formula used to calculate the value of pKa is shown below.

COHSOH(ag) + H2On + CeHsO (aq) + H3O*(a9) Ka= 1.12 x 10-10 (a) Phenol is a weak acid that partially dissociates in water according to the equation above. Write the equilibrium-constant expression for the dissociation of the acid in water. (b) What is the pH of a 0.75 M CaHsOH(ag) solution? (C) For a certain reaction involving CaHsOH(ag) to proceed at a significant rate, the phenol must be primarily in its deprotonated form, C3H5O (eg). In order to ensure that the CsHsOH(aq) is deprotonated, the reaction must be conducted in a buffered solution. On the number scale below, circle each pH for which more than 50 percent of the phenol molecules are in the deprotonated form (CoHsO (aq). Justify your answer. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Justification: (d) CeHsOH(ag) reacts with NaOH(ag). Write a net ionic equation representing this reaction (aka: invasion equation).
