Question

someone answered my question in the bartleby, but I can't understand the steps and answers. I need someone who can translate the steps and answer more clealy without the computer commands. 

Include an annotated calculation showing how you determined the Kai and Ka2 (i.e. How
did you find Ka1 and Ka2?).

accepted value.

1. Determining the Molar Mass
of the Acid
• Given mass of acid: 0.120 g
• Volume of NaOH solution at first
•
equivalence point: 12.5 mL
Molarity of NaOH: 0.1 M
Calculation of moles of NaOH:
[ \text{Moles of NaOH} =
\text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} =
0.1, M \times 0.0125, L = 1.25 \times
10^{-3}, \text{mol} ]
Moles of Acid: Since the acid is
diprotic, the moles of acid will be half
the moles of NaOH used: [ \text{Moles
of Acid} = \frac{1.25 \times 10^{-3},
\text{mol}}{2} = 6.25 \times 10^{-4},
\text{mol} ]
Molar Mass of the Acid: [ \text{Molar
Mass} \frac{\text{Mass of Acid}}
=
{\text{Moles of Acid}} = \frac{0.120,
\text{g}}{6.25 \times 10^{-4},
\text{mol}} = 192, \text{g/mol} ]
2. Determining (K_a1) and
(K_a2)
•
⚫ pH at the first half-equivalence point
(pH 1st half): 2.91
⚫ pH at the second half-equivalence
point (pH 2nd half): 7.5
Since pKa = pH at half equivalence
point:
(K_{a1}): [pka_1 = 2.91 ] [ K_{a1} =
10^{-2.91} \approx 1.23 \times
10^{-3}]
(K_{a2}): [ pKa_2 = 7.5 ] [ K_{a2} =
=
10^{-7.5} \approx 3.16 \times 10^{-8} ]
