A solution of sodium acetate (ch3coona) in water is weakly basic. a. True b. False

1 answer:

7 0

Hello!

The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:

Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:

CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻

This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.

Have a nice day!

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$

K value> 1 indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.

There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, which is the pKa value of some compounds that will react, namely:

pyridinium pKa = 5.25

acetone pKa = 19.3

butan-2-one pKa = 19

Let's look at the K value of each possible reaction:

pka H₂O = 15.74, pka of H₂CO₃ = 6.37)

1. C₅H₆N pyridinium

* with OH⁻

C₅H₆N + OH- ---> C₅H₅N- + H₂O

pK = pKa pyridinium - pKa H₂O

pK = 5.25 - 15.74

pK = -10.49

$K~=~10^{4.9}$

K values> 1 indicate the reaction can take place

* with HCO3⁻

C₅H₆N + HCO₃⁻-- ---> C₅H₅N⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 5.25 - 6.37

pK = -1.12

$K`=~10^{1.12]$

Reaction can take place

2. Acetone C₃H₆O

* with OH-

C₃H₆O + OH⁻ ---> C₃H₅O- + H₂O

pK = 19.3 - 15.74

pK = 3.56

$K~=~10^{ -3.56}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃-

C₃H₆O + HCO₃⁻ ----> C₃H₅O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19.3 - 6.37

pK = 12.93

$K`=~10 ^{-12.93}$

Reaction does not happen

3. butan-2-one C₄H₇O

* with OH-

C₄H₇O + OH- ---> C₄H₆O- + H₂O

pK = 19 - 15.74

pK = 3.26

$K~=~10^{-3.26}$

Reaction does not happen

* with HCO₃⁻

C₄H₇O + HCO₃⁻ ---> C₄H₆O⁻ + H₂CO₃

pK = 19 - 6.37

pK = 12.63

$K~=~ 10^{-12.63}$

Reaction does not happen

So that can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

liraira [26]

Answer:

Molality = 0.066 m

Molar mass = 608.36 g/mol

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. However a web search us shows this data:

" Reserpine is a natural product isolated from the roots of the shrub Rauwolfia serpentina. It was first synthesized in 1956 by Nobel Prize winner R. B. Woodward. It is used as a tranquilizer and sedative. When 1.00 g reserpine is dissolved in 25.0 g camphor, the freezing-point depression is 2.63 °C (Kf for camphor is 40 °C·kg/mol). Calculate the molality of the solution and the molar mass of reserpine. "

The <em>freezing-point depression</em> is expressed by:

ΔT=Kf * m

We put the data given by the problem and <u>solve for m</u>:

2.63 °C = 40°C·kg/mol * m

m = 0.06575 m

For the calculation of the molar mass:<em> Molality</em> is defined as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent:

0.06575 m = Moles reserpine / kg camphor

25.0 g camphor ⇒ 25.0/1000 = 0.025 kg camphor

We<u> calculate moles of reserpine:</u>

0.06575 m = Moles reserpine / 0.025 kg camphor

Moles reserpine = 1.64x10⁻³ mol

Finally we use the mass of reserpine and the moles to calculate <u>the molar mass</u>:

1.00 g reserpine / 1.64x10⁻³ mol = 608.36 g/mol

<em>Keep in mind that if the data in your problem is different, the results will be different. But the solving method remains the same.</em>
