(1) (H3)(PO4)(aq)+H2O(l)⟷(H2)(PO4)−(aq)+(H3)O+(aq) pKa1 = 2.148
(2) (H2)(PO4)−(aq)+H2O(l)⟷(H)(PO4)2−(aq)+(H3)O+(aq) pKa2 = 7.198
(3) (H)(PO4)2−(aq)+H2O(l)⟷(PO4)3−(aq)+(H3)O+(aq) pKa3 = 12.35

- An analytical chemist is titrating 169.4 mL of a 1.000M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H,CO₂) with a 1.100M solution of KOH. The pK of butanoic acid is 4.82. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 183.1 mL of the KOH solution to it.

- B represents an acid-base indicator and behaves like a base. Its dissociation equilibrium in an aqueous solution can be written as: B(ac) + H2O(l) <-> +BH(ac) + OH(ac) If B (ac) is yellow +BH is red. Using Le Châtelier's principle, predict the color of the indicator by adding a few drops of the indicator to an aqueous solution of HCl and an aqueous solution of NaOH. Write the corresponding chemical reactions.arrow_forwardThe pH of blood plasma is 7.40. Assuming that the principal buffer system in blood is HCO, /H2CO3, A) determine the ratio [HCO,]/[H2CO3] in blood plasma. The ionization con- stant of carbonic acid is K.(H2CO3) = 4.3 x 10-7. B) Based on your result in part (A), how many moles of H2CO3 (assuming that they occupy no volume) would need to be added to 300.0 mL of an aqueous solution that is 0.250 mol L- in NaHCO3 to make a buffer solution of the same pH as blood plasma? To solve the problem you may assume that the solutions behave as ideal dilute solutions (solute-type activity coefficients equal to unity).arrow_forwardDescribe how you would prepare a H2PO4- /HPO42- buffer solution with a pH of 7.40 from the sodium salts of both the H2PO4- and HPO42- ions.
