Phosphoric acid, H3PO4(aq), is a triprotic acid, meaning that one molecule of the acid has three acidic protons. Estimate the pH, and the concentrations of all species in a 0.500 M phosphoric acid solution.
pKa1= 2.16 pKa2 = 7.21 pKa3 = 12.32
What's: H3PO4, H2PO4-, HPO4-2, PO4-3, H+ ,OH- , pH
Solution :-
Using the give pka values lets calculate the ka values
Ka= antilog [-pka]
Ka1 = antilog[-2.16] = 6.918*10^-3
Ka2 = antilog[-7.21] =6.166*10^-8
Ka3=antilog [-12.32]=4.786*10^-13
Now using the ka values lets calculate the concentration of the H+
H3PO4 ---- > H+ + H2PO4^-
Ka1 = [H+] [H2PO4^-] /[H3PO4]
Ka1 = [x][x]/[0.500-x]
6.918*10^-3 = x^2 / 0.500-x
6.918*10^-3 * 0.500-x =x^2
x= 0.0555 M = [H+] [H2PO4-]
now lets use ka2
Ka2 = [H+] [HPO4^2-] /[H2PO4-]
Ka2 = [x][x]/[0.0555-x]
6.166*10^-8 = x^2 / 0.0550-x
6.166*10^-8 * 0.0550-x =x^2
x= 0.0555 M = [H+] [HPO4^2-]
x= 5.82*10^-5 = [H+] =[HPO4^2-]
now lets use the ka3
Ka3 = [H+] [PO4^3-] /[HPO4^2-]
Ka3 = [x][x]/[5.82*10^-5-x]
4.786*10^-13 = x^2 / 5.82*10^-5-x
4.786*10^-13 * 5.82*10^-5-x =x^2
x= 5.28*10^-9 M = [H+] [PO4^3-]
Therefore the concentration of the each species are as follows
[H3PO4] =0.500 -0.0555 = 0.445 M
[H2PO4^2-] = 0.05550 – 5.82*10^-5 = 5.49*10^-2 M
[HPO4^2-] = 5.82*10^-5 M
[PO4^3-] = 5.28*10^-9 M
[H+] =0.0555 +5.82*10^-5 = 0.0555 M
[OH-] = kw / [H+]
= 1*10^-14 /0.0555 M
= 1.80*10^-13 M
pH= -log [H+]
= -log [0.0555]
= 1.26
