A solution is made that is 0.400 M H3BO3(Ka= 5.4×10−10) and 0.125 M HCNO (Ka= 2×10−4).
Which answer approximates the pH of the solution:
A) 0.28
B) 0.90
C) 2.05
D) 2.30
E) 4.83
As we have
Ka (HCNO) >> Ka(H3BO3)
So disassociation of HCNO will dominate this mixture
HCNO -> H+ + CNO -
t= 0 0.125 0 0
Disassociation -x +x + x
t= t(eq) 0.125 - x x x
Ka = 2 × 10 -4 = ( x 2 / 0.125 - x ) neglect x as x<<0.125
Now x 2 = 0.125 × 2× 10 -4
x = 0.005 --- (1)
{ Now disassociation
= (0.005/0.125) × 100
= 4 %
it is less than 5% . If it increases from 5 % we can not neglect "x" in our calculation.
}
Now for H3BO3
H3BO3 -> H + + H2BO3 -
t= 0 0.400 0.005 0
Disassociation -x + x +x
Equilibrium 0.400- x 0.005 + x x
Now
Ka = 5.4 × 10 -10 = (0.005 + x )(x) / (0.400 - x)
On neglecting x
5.4 × 10 -10 =( 0.005)( x) / (0.400)
x = 4.32 × 10 -8 ----- (2)
( 2) << (1) so (2) can be neglected
Now calculating
pH = - log([H+])
pH = - log (0.005)
pH = 2.30 (D)
