Use the concept of autoprotolysis to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 1.00 M solution of NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate). Please show calculations and setups.

Species Na+ HCO3- H+ OH- CO32- CO2 (aq)
Molar Concentrations

K1 = [H+][HCO31-] / [CO2] = 4.3 x 10-7

K2 = [H+] [CO32-] / [HCO31-] = 5.6 x 10-11

Solutions

Expert Solution

Since NaHCO3(aq) is completely dissociated into Na+(aq) and HCO3-(aq), [Na+] = [NaHCO3] = 1.00 M (Answer)

Equation for dissociation of HCO3-(aq):

--HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq) <-----> CO32-(aq) + H+​​​​​​​(aq): Ka2 = 5.6*10-11

I: 1.00 M --------------- 0 M --------- 0 M

C: - X ------------------- +X ---------- +X

E:(1.00 - X) ------------ X ------------ X

Ka2 = 5.6*10-11 = [CO32-(aq)]*[H+​​​​​​​(aq)] / [HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq)]

=> 5.6*10-11 = X*X / (1.00 - X)

Since X << 1.00, we can neglect X in denominator.

=>  5.6*10-11 = X2

=> X = 7.48*10-6 M

=> X = [CO32-(aq)] = 7.48*10-6 M (Answer)

Equation for hydrolysis of HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq):

--HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq) + H2O(l) <-----> CO2(aq) + OH-​​​​​​​(aq): Kb1 = Kw/Ka1 = 10-14 / 4.3*10-7 = 2.33*10-8

I: 1.00 M ------------------------ 0 M --------- 0 M

C: - X ---------------------------- +X ---------- +X

E:(1.00 - X) ---------------------- X ------------ X

Kb1 = 2.33*10-8 = [CO2(aq)]*[OH-​​​​​​​(aq)] / [HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq)]

=> 2.33*10-8 = X*X / (1.00 - X)

Since X << 1.00, we can neglect X in denominator.

=>  2.33*10-8 = X2

=> X = 1.525*10-4 M

=> X = [CO2(aq)] = 1.5*10-4 M (Answer)  

Since OH-(aq) is formed in higher amount than H+(aq), the solution in basic

Hence X = [OH-​​​​​​​(aq)] = 1.5*10-4 M (Answer)  

[H+​​​​​​​(aq)] = 10-14 / [OH-​​​​​​​(aq)] =  10-14 / 1.5*10-4 = 6.67*10-11 M (Answer)

Since very negligible amount of HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq) is dissociated, [HCO3-​​​​​​​(aq)] = 1.00 M (Answer)
