Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method for calculating the equilibrium constant, pH and degree dissociation of weak acids and bases should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

  • A system is referred to be in a state of equilibrium if the rate of forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
  • A system at equilibrium is characterized by the equilibrium constant which depends on the concentrations of the reactants and products.
  • In the case of dissociation of weak acids and bases, there is a dynamic equilibrium between the acid (or base) and its constituent ions
  • The equilibrium constant is such cases is referred to as the acid dissociation constant Ka or the base dissociation constant Kb

The pH of an aqueous solution of 0.111 M ammonium chloride, NH4Cl (aq), is . This solution is
Boric acid, BOH is used as a mild antiseptic. What is the pH of a 0.025 aqueous solution of boric acid? What is the degree of ionisation of boric acid in this solution? The hydrogen ion arises principally from the reaction: B(OH),(aq) + H,O(1) — В(ОН), (аq) + н* (aq) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 5.9 x 10-10.
Suppose that, instead of using NaOH, a base such as Ba(OH)2 had been used. What changes in the calculations would then have to be made to determine the molar concentrations of the base?
