1. Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.060 M in potassium propionate (C2H5COOK or KC3H5O2) and 0.090 M in propionic acid (C2H5COOH or HC3H5O2).
2. Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.080 M in trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, and 0.12 M in trimethylammonium chloride, ((CH3)3NHCl).
3. Calculate the pH of a solution that is made by mixing 50.0 mL of 0.15 M acetic acid and 50.0 mL of 0.21 M sodium acetate.
1. [CH3CH2COO] = 0.09M
[CH3CH2COOK] = 0.06M
PKa = 4.87
PH = PKa + log[CH3CH2COOK]/[CH3CH2COOH]
= 4.87 + log0.06/0.09
= 4.87 -0.176 = 4.694
2. [(CH3)3N] = 0.08M
[(CH3)NHCl] = 0.12M
Pkb = 4.194
POH = Pkb + log [(CH3)NHCl] / [(CH3)3N]
= 4.194 + log0.12/0.08
= 4.194 + 0.176 = 4.37
PH = 14-POH
= 14-4.37 = 9.63
3. no of moles of CH3COOH = molarity * volume in L
= 0.15*0.05 = 0.0075 moles
no of moles of CH3COONa = molarity * volume in L
= 0.21*0.05 = 0.0105moles
PH = Pka + log[CH3COONa]/[CH3COOH]
= 4.75 + log0.0105/0.0075
= 4.75 + 0.146 = 4.896 >>>>answer
