a)q2×nSVbenzene=0.16Mb)q2×nSVbenzene=1.96×10-6M

Step by step solution

01

Given Information:

K=3,Vbutanoicacid=100mL,butanoicacid=0.1M,Vbenzene=25mL,pH=4,pH=10.

02

To Find the formal concentration at  :

Distribution coefficient is given by

D=K×H+H++Ka

Substitute the given values are

localid="1654765945821" D=3×10-410-4+1.52×10-5D=2.6

The concentration of H+is calculated as 10-pH

To calculate the fraction remaining in the water by using the formula as

q=VbutanoicacidVbutanoicacid+D×Vbenzeneq=100mL100mL+2.6×25mLq=0.606

Molarity in water is

localid="1654769344387" q×butanoicacid=0.606×0.1Mq×butanoicacid=0.0606M

The total number of moles of butanoic acid

localid="1654769351603" ns=butanoicacid×Vbutanoicacidns=0.1M×0.1Lns=0.01mol

Molarity in benzene is; to determine the fraction in benzene as

localid="1654769103015" q2=1-0.606=0.394q2×nsVbenzene=0.394×0.01mol0.025Lq2×nsVbenzene=0.16M

03

To Find the formal concentration at pH=10  :

Distribution coefficient is given by

D=K×H+H++Ka

Substitute the given values are

localid="1654769394777" D=3×10-1010-10+1.52×10-5

localid="1654769398481" D=1.97×10-5

The concentration of H+is calculated as 10-pH

To calculate the fraction remaining in the water by using the formula as

localid="1654768500788" q=VbutanoicacidVbutanoicacid+D×Vbenzeneq=100mL100mL+1.97×10-5×25mLq=0.9999951

Molarity in water is

q×butanoicacid=0.999×0.1Mq×butanoicacid=0.9999951M

The total number of moles of butanoic acid is

ns=butanoicacid×Vbutanoicacidns=0.1M×0.1Lns=0.01mol

Molarity in benzene is

q2=1-0.9999951q2=4.9×10-6

To calculate as

q2×nsVbenzene=4.9×10-6×0.01mol0.025Lq2×nsVbenzene=1.96×10-6M
