Barbituric acid dissociates as follows:

(b)Calculate the pH and fraction of dissociation of 10-10.00 M barbituric acid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pHof10-10.00Mis7

The fraction of disassociation is 99.9%

Step by step solution

01

Step 1 : Definition of pH.

pH is defined as a quantitative measure of acidity and basicity. Compounds having pH more than 7 is acidic in nature while when shown above than 7 is basic in nature. When pH comes 7 , compound is said to be neutral.

02

Step 2 : Calculate pH and fraction of dissociation.

Since the solution is highly diluted, we can consider thatpH=7H+=10-7.

We will calculate the fraction of dissociation by:

Ka=H+A-HAA-=KaH+×HA=9.8×10-510-7×HAA-=980HA

03

Step 3 : Calculate fraction of dissociation.

Now, using the same reaction, we will find fraction of dissociation:

a=A-HA+A-=980HAHA+980HA=980/981=99.9%
