Calculating Ka from % DissociationPolyprotic AcidsProperties of Salts
Example
Lactic acid (HC3H5O3) is a waste product that accumulates in the muscle during exertion, leading to pain & a feeling of fatigue. A 0.100 M solution is 3.7% dissociated. Calculate Ka.

I 0.1 0 0
C -0.0037 +0.0037 +0.0037
E 0.9963 0.0037 0.0037
HC3H5O3 H+ + C3H5O3 -
0.100 x 3.7% = 0.0037
Example
Ka = [H+][C3H5O3-] / [HC3H5O3]
Ka = [0.0037][0.0037] / [0.9963] Ka = 1.37 x 10-5
Polyprotic Acids
More that one ionizable H+ H+ come off one at a timeEach one has a specific Ka valueKa1>>>>Ka2>>Ka3
When calculating the pH of a polyprotic acid, you only use the 1st Ka because all of the others are so small
Complete Ionization
Write the steps for the complete ionization of H2Se
H2Se
H2Se + H20 H30+ + HSe- Ka1 = #
HSe- + H20 H30+ + Se-2 Ka2 = #
Complete Ionization
Write the steps for the complete ionization of H3AsO
H3AsO + H2O H2AsO - + H3O + Ka1 = #
H2AsO - + H2O HAsO -2 + H3O + Ka2 = #
HAsO -2 + H2O AsO -3 + H3O + Ka3 = #
Example
Calculate the pH & the [ ] of all species of a 3.0 M solution of H3PO4.
Ka1 = 7.5 x 10-3, Ka2 = 6.2 x 10-8, Ka3 = 4.8 x 10 -13

Example
pH = 0.836 [H3PO4] = 2.85M
[H2PO4-] = 0.146M
[HPO4-2] = 6.2x10-8
[PO4-3] = 2.0x10-19M

Example
C2H3O2- + H2O HC2H3O2 + OH-
Ka HC2H3O2 = 1.8x10-5 but we are starting with a base C2H3O2 –
Ka x Kb = Kw(1.8x10-5)(Kb) = 1 x 10-14
Kb = 5.56x10-10
Example
Kb = [HC2H3O2][OH-] / [C2H3O2-]
5.56x10-10 = [x2]/ [0.14-x]X=8.82x10-6 = [OH-]pOH = 5.05pH = 8.95

Effect of Structure of Acid Base Properties
HF weakest because the H – X bond the strongest, so it won’t let the H pop off easily
HI strongest because the H – X bond the weakest, so the H pop off easily
Effect of Structure of Acid Base Properties
HClO4
The O’s are pulling the e- (they are e- hogs) leaving the H to easily pop off
HClO The O is not pulling
as much as HClO4, so it is harder for the H to pop off
