An acid type indicator, Hin differs in colour from its conjugate base (In^(-)) . The human eye is sensitive to colour differences only when the ratio ["In"^(-)]//["HIn"] is greater than 10 or smaller than 0.1. What should be the minimum change in the pH of the solution to observe a complete colour changes. (K_(a) = 1.0xx10^(-5))? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :`"HIn" HARR H^(+) + In^(-), K_(a) = ([H^(+)][In^(-)])/(["HIn"]) or [H^(+)] = K_(a) (["HIn"])/([In^(-)])` When `([In^(-)])/(["HIn"])=10, [H^(+)]=10^(-5)xx(1)/(10) = 10^(-6), pH = 6` When `([In^(-)])/(["HIn"])=0.1 , [H^(+)]=10^(-5)xx10=10^(-4), pH=4" " :. ` Minimum change in pH = 2 |

An acid solution of KReO_(4) samplecontaining 26.83mg of combined rhenium was reduced by passage through a column of granulated zinc. The effulent solution includingthe washings from thecolumn, was thentitratedwith 0.5N KMnO_(4). 11.45mL of the standard KMnO_(4) was requiredfor the reoxidation of all the rhendiumof all the rehniuym to the perryhentate ion Re_O_(4)^(-) . Assumingthat rhenium was the only element reduced, what is the oxisation state to whichrheniumwas reduced by the zinc column? |

An acid having pH = 6 is diluted 1000 times. What will be thepH of the final solution ? |
|
Answer» Solution :pH = 6means `[H_(3)O^(+)=10^(-6)M`. After diluting 1000 times, `[H_(3)O^(+)]=10^(-6)//1000M = 10^(-9)M`. `:. [H_(3)O^(+)]` from `H_(2)O` cannot be neglected. Total `[H_(3)O^(+)]=10^(-9)+10^(-7)(10^(-2)+1)=10^(-7)(1.01)` `:. pH = - LOG (1.01xx10^(-7))=7-0.0043=6.9957`. |

An acid-base titration consists of the controlled addition of a dissolved base to a dissolved acid (or the reverse). Acid and base react rapidly to neutralize each other. At the equivalence point, equivalents of reacting substances are equal. The pH during a titration changes every time with a drop of titrant added, but the rate of this change varies enormously. A titration curve, graph of pH as a function of the volume of titrant, displays in detail how the pH changes over the course of an acid base titration. Significantly. the pH changes most rapidly near the equivalence point. The exact shape of a titration curve depends on the K_(a) and K_(b) of acid and base The suitable indicator for this titration will be: |
