    The document contains the results of a chemistry experiment measuring the pH of two samples and an unknown weak acid solution. It summarizes that Sample 1 had a pH of 3.00 and was bracketed by bromophenol blue and methyl orange indicators, while Sample 2 had a pH of 4.8 and was also bracketed by those two indicators. The pH of the unknown weak acid was calculated to be 4.62, corresponding to an H+ concentration of 2.3988x10-5 and an acid dissociation constant (Ka) of 2.3988x10-5. The percent ionization of the unknown acid was determined to be 1.1994 x 10-4%.

    QUESTIONS

    1. Estimate the pH of Sample 1 and Sample 2.


    pH of Sample 1 : 3.00
    pH of Sample 2 : 4.8
    2. Which indicators bracketed the pH colour change of Sample 1?
    bromophenol blue, and Methyl orange

    3. Which indicators bracketed the pH colour change of Sample 2?


    bromophenol blue ,and Methyl orange

    4. From the observed pH of the unknown weak acid (experiment B), calculate
    a) [H+] in the solution and Ka.
    pH = - log [H+] Ka = [H3O+] [A-]
    4.62 = - log [H+] [HA]
    [H+] = 10-pH Ka = 2.3988x10-5 x 0.2
    [H+] = 10-4.62 0.2
    [H+] = 2.3988x10-5 Ka = 2.3988x10-5

    b) Percent ionization.

    Percent ionization = Ionized acid concentration at equilibrium x 100%


    Initial concentration of acid

    Percent ionization = [H+] x 100 %


    [HA]0

    Percent ionization = 2.3988x10-5 x 100 %


    0.2 M
    Percent ionization = 1.1994 x 10-4 %
