The compound 2-germaacetic acid (GeH3COOH), is an unstable weak acid. At 25oC, a 0.050 M solution of 2-germaacetic acid has a pH of 2.42. (a) Calculate the Ka of 2-germaacetic acid. [Hints: Ge is a Group 4 element, same as carbon] [H+] = 10-2.42 = 3.80 x 10-3 M (2 marks) -3 2 -3 Ka = (3.80 x 10 ) / (0.050 - 3.80 x 10 ) = 3.12 x 10-4 (3 marks) (b) Given that the pKa value of CH3COOH is 4.75 at 25 oC. Predict which of the groups, GeH3 and CH3 , has stronger electron donating property. Explain. pKa for CH3COOH is 4.75 and pKa for GeH3COOH is 3.51. (1 mark) Since GeH3COOH is a stronger acid, its conjugate base GeH3COO- is more stable than CH3COO-. (2 marks) Since CH3COO is the less stable conjugate base, it means that the CH3 group has stronger electron donating property. (2 marks) 4 2. Cd2+ is one of the very toxic ( ) heavy metal ions. Thus, it is very important to remove Cd2+ from any wastewater ( ) before introducing the water back into our environment ( ). Cd(OH)2 has a Ksp of 2.3 x 10-14. (a) Using this solubility-product constant, calculate the concentration of Cd2+ in a saturated solution of Cd(OH)2. Cd(OH)2 (s) → Cd2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) Ksp = 2.3 × 10-14 = [Cd2+][OH-]2 = x (2x)2 [Cd2+] = x = 1.8 × 10-5 M (5 marks) (b) Suppose you are given 990 liters ( ) of wastewater containing Cd(OH)2. Calculate how much of 5.0 M NaOH you have to add so that the final concentration of [Cd2+] is reduced to 9.2 × 10-12 M. 2.3 × 10-14 = (9.2 × 10-12)[OH-]2 [OH-] = 0.050 M Let y be the volume we have to add: (y × 5.0 + 990 × 3.6 × 10-5)/(y+990) = 0.050 y = 10. liters or 1.0 × 101 liters (5 marks) 3. The organic base aniline (C6H5NH2) forms its conjugate acid, the anilinium ion, when treated with HCl. C6H5NH2 (aq) + HCl (aq) → C6H5NH3+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) (a) If Kb for aniline is 4.0 x 10-10, what is Ka for the anilinium ion? Ka = Kw / Kb = 2.5 x 10-5 (b) What is the pH of a 0.080 M solution of anilinium chloride? Using the approximation, x = [H+] = √[(2.5 x 10-5) (0.080)] = 1.41 x 10-3 pH = 2.84 4. Consider the reaction R (aq) P (aq). Given that the ∆G° of this reaction is zero. (a) Calculate the Keq constant for the reaction. Keq = 1 (1 mark) 5 (b) Sketch the variation of the free energy (G) as a function of the concentration of R. [Hints: Consider x-axis as the concentration of R, y-axis as the free energy. You must label the positions of G P0 , G R0 and the equilibrium position.] G0R G G0P Eqm position P [%]: 0 100 R [%]: 100 0 0 P G , G 0 R and the equilibrium position (8 marks) 5. For the decomposition of carbonyl fluoride, COF2, 2 COF2 (g) CO2 (g) + CF4 (g) Keq = 2.00 at 1273 K. If 0.500 mol COF2 (g) is placed in a 3.23-L reaction vessel ( ) at 1273 K, how many moles of COF2(g) will remain undissociated ( ) when equilibrium is reached. For the reaction above, the constant of equilibrium expression becomes: Keq = [CO2][CF4]/[COF2]2 (2 marks) Keq = (nCO2/V)(nCF4/V)/(nCOF2/V)2 Since the number of moles of gas for both sides of the reaction is the same, there is no volume dependence: Keq = (nCO2)(nCF4)/(nCOF2)2 One can work with moles directly. Applying stoichiometry, at equilibrium: 2.00 = (nCO2)2/(0.5 - 2nCO2)2 let x = nCO2, 2.00 = x2/(0.500-2x)2 (2 marks) Take the square root of both sides: 6 1.414 = x/(0.500-2x) x=0.185 Remaining COF2 = 0.500 - 2(0.185) = 0.131 moles (6 marks) Section C (30 points) (Wrong unit for the final answer, deduct 1 mark; wrong significant figure for the final answer, deduct 1 mark) 1. The stoichiometry for the reaction between Cl2 and ClO2- is shown in equations 1 and 2. Acidic conditions and high concentrations of chlorite favor the formation of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), while basic conditions and low concentrations of chlorite (ClO2-) favor the formation of the chlorate ion (ClO3-) : Cl2 (aq) + 2ClO2- (aq) → 2ClO2 (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) Cl2 (aq) + ClO2- (aq) + 2OH- (aq) → ClO3- (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) + H2O (l) (1) (2) [J. S. Nicoson and D. W. Margerum, Inorganic Chemistry, vol. 41 (2): 342-347, 2002.] (a) The proposed mechanism for the reaction of chlorine and chlorite ion is as follows: Cl2 (aq) + ClO2- (aq) → ClOClO (aq) + Cl- (aq) slow ClOClO (aq) + ClO2 (aq) → 2ClO2 (aq) + Cl (aq) fast Based on the above mechanism, what should be the rate law for this reaction? Do you think reaction 1 is an elementary process? Explain. rate = k1 [Cl2][ClO2-] (1 mark) Reaction 1 is not an elementary process (1 mark) because the rate law does not correspond to the stoichiometry of the reaction. (4 marks) (b) While keeping the total concentration of chlorine constant, the following data have been obtained: [ClO2-], mM observed pseudo rate, s-1 0.211 132 0.421 228 0.632 334 0.842 455 1.050 550 7 What is the order of the reaction with respect to chlorite? Does the proposed mechanism agree with these results? The reaction is first order with respect to chlorite. The proposed mechanism agrees with these results. (2 mark) (2 marks) 2. Normal rain is usually a bit acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide dissolving in water makes the solution slightly acidic: CO2(aq) + H2O(l) H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) Ka = 4.3 x 10-7 Acid rain, on the other hand, is a major pollution problem in many parts of this planet ( ). Acid rain contains a fair amount ( ) of strong acids such as H2SO4 and HNO3. It results largely from the burning or combustion of fossil fuels ( ) that contain sulfur. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is formed which can further react with oxygen in the atmosphere (! " ) forming sulfur trioxide (SO3). Sulfur trioxide dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid: S(in fossil fuel) + O2 (g) → SO2 (g) SO2 (g) + (1/2) O2(g) → SO3 (g) SO3 (g) + H2O (rain) → H2SO4 (aq) The net result is to increase the acidity of the rain, which damages (# $ ) trees, aquatic life ( % & ' ) and corrodes away (( ) ) stones and metal surfaces. (a) The pH in acid rain can drop to 3 or even a bit lower in heavily polluted areas. Calculate the concentrations of [H+] and [OH-] at pH 3.30 at 25oC. pH = -log[H+] [H+] = 10-pH = 10-3.30 = 5.0 x 10-4 M (1 mark) in aqueous solution at 25oC, [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 [OH-] = (1.0 x 10-14)/ (5.0 x 10-4) = 2.0 x 10-11 M (1 mark) (b) When sulfur dioxide (SO2) dissolves in water, sulfurous acid (H2SO3, Ka1=1.7 × 10-2, Ka2=6.4 × 10-8) is formed. Sulfurous acid can donate a proton to a water molecule. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, and identify the stronger Br* nsted-Lowry acid and base in the equation. (Consider only the first proton 8 of H2SO3) H2SO3(aq) + H2O(l) <==> HSO3-(aq) + H3O+(aq) (1 mark) + H3O is the stronger acid (as indicated by Ka1 < 1) (1 mark) HSO3- is the stronger base. (1 mark) (c) Ignore (+ , ) the further ionization (since Ka2 << Ka1) of HSO3-, and calculate the pH of a solution in which the initial concentration of H2SO3 is 4.0 × 10-4M. [Hints: Consider whether you need to use the quadratic formula] Ka1 = [H+][HSO3-] / [H2SO3] [H+] [HSO3-] [H2SO3] initial 0 0 4.0 x 10-4M shift +x +x -x equilibrium +x +x 4.0 x 10-4M - x 1.7 x 10-2 = x2/(4.0 x 10-4M - x) x2 + (1.7 x 10-2)x - 6.8 x 10-6 = 0 Using the quadratic formula, we get x = 0.00039 = [H+] so pH = 3.41 (2 marks) (d) Now suppose (- . ) that all the dissolved SO2 from part (c) has been oxidized initially to SO3, so that the initial concentration of H2SO4 is 4.0 × 10-4M. Calculate the pH in this case. (H2SO4, Ka1 is very large, assume complete ionization, Ka2 = 1.2 x 10-2) [Hints: Consider whether you need to use the quadratic formula] H2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) ==> HSO4-(aq) + H3O+(aq) (assume complete) HSO4-(aq) + H2O(l) <==> SO42-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka = 1.2 x 10-2 Thus, we need to deal with the second reaction: 1.2 x 10-2 = [H+][SO42-] / [HSO4-] [H+] [SO42-] [HSO4-] initial 4.0 × 10-4 (from 1st rxn) 0 4.0 × 10-4M (from 1st rxn) shift +x +x -x equilibrium 4.0 × 10-4 + x +x 4.0 × 10-4M - x 9 1.2 × 10-2 = (4.0 × 10-4 + x) x / (4.0 × 10-4M - x) x2 + (1.2 × 10-2) x - (4.8 × 10-6) = 0 Using the quadratic formula, we get x = 0.00039 [H+] = 4.0 × 10-4 + x = 0.00079, so pH =3.10 (4 marks) (e) Nature (! / ) also has its own way of fighting (0 1 ) acid rain. Lakes have a natural buffering capacity, especially in regions ( 2 ) where there is limestone ( 3 ) which gives rise to dissolved calcium carbonate. Write an equation for the reaction of a small amount of acid rain containing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) falling into a lake containing carbonate (CO32-) ions. Discuss how the lake will resist (1 4 ) further pH changes. What happens if a large excess of acid rain is deposited in the lake? CO32- is the conjugate base of the weak acid HCO3- and, thus, can react with the strong acid H3O+ in the sulfuric acid solution according to CO32-(aq) + H3O+(aq) <==> HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) (1 mark) with K = 1/Ka2 of H2CO3 (thus, large K) Likewise, HSO4- will also react with CO32-: CO32-(aq) + HSO4-(aq) <==> SO42-(aq) + HCO3-(aq) with K = (Ka2 of H2SO4)/(Ka2 of H2CO3) (likewise, large K) (1 mark) Thus, a HCO3-/CO32- buffer will be produced, which will resist further pH changes. An excess of acid rain will consume all the CO32- and HCO3-, converting all to H2CO3 (no more buffer) (1 mark) 3. Assume we have the following rate law: − d [ A] 2 = k [ A] dt Determine the half life for the concentration of A. From the given equations, we have the following integrated equation for the second order reaction: 1 1 = + kt (1 marks) [A] [A]0 10 Assume at time t1/2, the concentration [A] becomes [A]0/2: 1 1 = + kt 1 [A]0 1 / 2 2 [ A]0 kt1 / 2 = t1 / 2 = 2 1 − [A]0 [A]0 1 k [ A]0 (5 marks) End 11
