- The value of K, for ethylamine, C,H;NH, is 4.30×104. Write the equation for the reaction that goes with this equilibrium constant. + It is not necessary to include states such as (ag) or (1). +arrow_forwardAscorbic acid, H2C6H6O6, is a diprotic acid usually known as vitamin C. For this acid, pKa1 is 4.10 and pKa2 is 11.79. When 125 mL of a solution of ascorbic acid was evaporated to dryness, the residue of pure ascorbic acid had a mass of 3.64 g. Your answer is correct. Calculate the molar concentration of ascorbic acid in the solution before it was evaporated. 0.164 Hint Your answer is partially correct. What was the pH of the ascorbic acid solution before it was evaporated? pH = 2.44 What was the concentration of the ascorbate ion, C6H6062, before the solution was evaporated? i M Marrow_forwardFor the following acid-base reaction, (1) predict the products, showing both reactants and products complete Lewis structures and arrows showing electron flow; (2) label each structure with the lowing: Bronsted acid, Bronsted base, conjugate acid, conjugate base; (3) give a brief definition of a ronsted acid and Bronsted base; (4) predict the direction of the equilibrium and justify your answer.

- Calculate the pH of a 0.020 M solution of phenylacetic acid, C6H5CH2COOH. What will be the pH if the solution is made 0.050 M with its sodium salt, C6H5CH2COONa? Ka= 4.9 x 10-5.arrow_forwardPhenol, C6H5OH, is an acidic organic compound for which K₂ = 1.3 x 10-10. The structure of phenol is a benzene ring with an -OH replacing a hydrogen atom on one of its six carbon atoms. Because phenol has this -OH group, you might think that the -OH would ionize and make phenol a base. Actually, the O-H bond is very weak and phenol acts as an acid by ionizing the H* ion. What is the pH of a 0.47 M solution of phenol in water? pH=ễarrow_forward4. Write the products of the following acid-base reactions: OH NAOH pK, = 4.5arrow_forward
