Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.876 moles of carbonic acid (H2CO3) and 0.543 moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) in water sufficient to yield 1.00 L of solution. The Ka of carbonic acid is 4.5x10^-7. Explain answer please
no of moles of carbonic acid used = 0.876 moles
no of moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate used = 0.543 moles
reaction between carbonic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate is given bellow
H2CO3 + 2NaHCO3 Na2CO3 + 2H2O + 2CO2
according to reaction 2 moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with 1 mole of carbonic acid
therefore 0.543 moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate will react with = 0.543/2 = 0.2715 mole H2CO3
but 0.876 moles of carbonic acid are taken which are excess than required
no of moles of carbonic acid remained unreacted = 0.876 - 0.543 = 0.333 moles
total volume of solution = 1liter
molarity = no of moles/volume in liter , substitute values to find molarity of carbonic acid
molarity of carbonic acid = 0.333/1 = 0.333M
carbonic acid dissociates as
H2CO3 + H2O HCO3-+ H3O+
Ka = [HCO3-][H3O+] / [H2CO3]
but [HCO3-] = [H3O+] = x
Ka = [x][x] / [H2CO3] , given Ka of H2CO3 = 4.5 x 10-7
Substitute the value in equation
4.5 10-7 = [x]2/ 0.333
[x]2 = 4.5 10-7 0.333 = 1.4985 x 10-7
[x] = 3871.0463 10-7
Concentration of H3O+ = 3871.0463 10-7 M
pH = - log[H+]
pH = - log (3871.0463 10-7) = 3.41
ans pH of resulatant solution formed is 3.41
