Answer:

[H₂A] = 5.0409x10⁻⁷M

[HA⁻] = 0.001951M

[A²⁻] = 0.234

11.29 = pH

Explanation:

When Na₂A is in equilibrium with water, the reactions that occurs are:

2Na⁺ + A²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HA⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

As sodium ion doesn't react:

A²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HA⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Kb1 = KwₓKa2 = 1x10⁻¹⁴/ 6.19x10⁻⁹ = 1.6155x10⁻⁶ = [HA⁻] [OH⁻] / [A²⁻]

And HA⁻ will be in equilibrium:

HA⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂A(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Kb2 = KwₓKa1 = 1x10⁻¹⁴/ 7.68x10⁻⁵ = 1.3021x10⁻¹⁰ = [H₂A] [OH⁻] / [HA⁻]

In the reaction, you have 2 equilibriums, for the first reaction, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[HA⁻] = X

[OH⁻] = X

[A²⁻] = 0.236M - X

Replacing in Kb1:

1.6155x10⁻⁶ = [HA⁻] [OH⁻] / [A²⁻]

1.6155x10⁻⁶ = [X] [X] / [0.236-X]

3.8126x10⁻⁶ - 1.6155x10⁻⁶X = X²

3.8126x10⁻⁶ - 1.6155x10⁻⁶X - X² = 0

Solving for X

X = -0.00195 → False solution. There is no negative concentrations

X = 0.001952.

Replacing, concentrations for the first equilibrium are:

[HA⁻] = 0.001952

[OH⁻] = 0.001952

[A²⁻] = 0.234

Now, in the second equilibrium:

[HA⁻] = 0.001952 - X

[OH⁻] = X

[H₂A] = X

Replacing in Kb1:

1.3021x10⁻¹⁰ = [H₂A] [OH⁻] / [HA⁻]

1.3021x10⁻¹⁰ = [X] [X] / [0.001952 - X]

2.5417x10⁻¹³ - 1.3021x10⁻¹⁰X = X²

2.5417x10⁻¹³ - 1.3021x10⁻¹⁰X - X² = 0

Solving for X

X = -5.04x10⁻⁷ → False solution. There is no negative concentrations

X = 5.0409x10⁻⁷

Replacing, concentrations for the second equilibrium are:

[HA⁻] = 0.001951M

[OH⁻] = 5.0409x10⁻⁷M

[H₂A] =  5.0409x10⁻⁷M

Thus, you have concentrations of H2A, HA−, and A2−

Now, for pH, the sum of both productions of [OH⁻] is:

[OH⁻] = 0.0019525

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 2.709

As 14 = pH+ pOH

11.29 = pH

As per the question the pH and the cons of the H2A, the HA−, and the A2−, at equilibrium for a 0.236 M.

  • The pH needs to be in equilibrium from the mentioned elements and form a solution of Na2A.
  • Thus the concentration of the ions is to be calculated with the dissociation of the constants for the H2A.
  • Hence the [H₂A] = 5.0409x10⁻⁷M.
  • [HA⁻] = 0.001951M  A²⁻] = 0.234  will give 11.29 = pH.
