Determine the pH, [H3A], [H2A-], [HA-2], and [A-3] for a 0.30M solution of H3A. The respective pKa1, pKa2, and pKa3 values are 2.81, 4.87 and 8.14.
The acid Ka are calculated:
Ka1 = 10 ^ -pKa1 = 10 ^ -2.81 = 1.55x10 ^ -3
Ka2 = 1.35x10 ^ -5
Ka3 = 7.24x10 ^ -9
The first dissociation has to be:
H3A = H + + H2A-
Ka1 = [H +] * [H2A-] / [H3A] = X ^ 2 / 0.3 - X
It is assumed that - X is negligible and clears:
X = [H +] = [H2A] = √Ka1 * 0.3 = √1.55x10 ^ -3 * 0.3 = 0.022 M
pH = - log [H +] = - log 0.022 = 1.66
For the second dissociation:
H2A- = H + + HA-2
Ka2 = [H +] * [HA-2] / [H2A-] = 0.022 * [HA-2] / 0.022 = 1.35x10 ^ -5
It clears [HA-2] = 1.35x10 ^ -5 M
For the third dissociation:
HA-2 = H + + A-3
Ka3 = [H +] * [A-3] / [HA-2] = 0.022 * [A-3] / 1.35x10 ^ -5 = 7.24x10 ^ -9
It clears [A-3] = 4.44x10 ^ -12 M
The answers are:
pH = 1.66
[H3A] = 0.278 M
[H2A-] = 0.022 M
[HA-2] = 1.35x10 ^ -5 M
[A-3] = 4.44x10 ^ -12 M
If you liked the answer, please rate it in a positive way, you would help me a lot, thank you.
