To calculate the pH and concentration of H2SO3, H2SO3-, and SO32- in NaHSO3 solution, we will use the given information and the equations for the dissociation of H2SO3.
Step 1: Write the dissociation equations for H2SO3:
H2SO3 ⇌ H+ + HSO3-
HSO3- ⇌ H+ + SO32-
Step 2: Set up an ICE table for the first dissociation:
H2SO3 ⇌ H+ + HSO3-
Initial = 0.05 M 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium = 0.05 - x x x
Step 3: Set up an ICE table for the second dissociation:
HSO3- ⇌ H+ + SO32-
Initial = x 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium = x-x x x
Step 4: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant (Ka1) for the first dissociation:
Ka1 = [H+][HSO3-] / [H2SO3]
Step 5: Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the Ka1 expression and solve for x:
Ka1 = x * x / (0.05 - x) = 1.23 * 10^(-2)
x^2 = (1.23 * 10^(-2)) * (0.05 - x)
x^2 = 1.23 * 10^(-2) * (0.05) - 1.23 * 10^(-2) * x
x^2 + 1.23 * 10^(-2) * x - 1.23 * 10^(-2) * (0.05) = 0
Solving this quadratic equation will give the value of x, which represents the concentration of [H+].
Step 6: Calculate the concentrations of H2SO3, HSO3-, and SO32- at equilibrium:
[H2SO3] = 0.05 - x
[HSO3-] = x
[SO32-] = x
Step 7: Calculate the pH:
pH = -log[H+]
Repeat Steps 4-7 for the Ka2 value to calculate the pH and concentrations of H2SO3-, HSO3-, and SO32-.
It is important to note that the given results of [H2SO3], [SO32-], and [HSO3-] are not consistent with the equilibrium concentrations obtained from the calculated values. Please double-check your calculations or consult additional sources for accurate results.
To calculate the pH and concentrations of H2SO3, HSO3-, and SO32- in NaHSO3, we need to consider the dissociation of NaHSO3 in water. Hence, we will use the given Ka values to calculate the concentrations of the different species.
First, let's write down the dissociation reactions and the corresponding equilibrium constant expressions:
1. NaHSO3 ↔ H2SO3 + Na+
2. H2SO3 ↔ H+ + HSO3-
3. HSO3- ↔ H+ + SO32-
Given that the initial concentration of NaHSO3 is 0.05 M, we assume that there is no H2SO3, HSO3-, or SO32- initially.
Now, let's start by calculating the concentration of H2SO3:
From reaction 1, we know that the initial concentration of NaHSO3 is equal to the initial concentration of H2SO3, i.e., [H2SO3] = 0.05 M.
To calculate the concentrations of HSO3- and SO32-, we need to consider the equilibrium constant expressions for reactions 2 and 3.
For reaction 2:
Ka1 = [H+][HSO3-]/[H2SO3]
Rearranging the equation, we get: [HSO3-] = (Ka1[H2SO3])/[H+]
For reaction 3:
Ka2 = [H+][SO32-]/[HSO3-]
Rearranging the equation, we get: [SO32-] = (Ka2[HSO3-])/[H+]
Now, we can substitute the values into these equations:
[HSO3-] = (Ka1[0.05])/[H+]
[SO32-] = (Ka2[HSO3-])/[H+]
To calculate the concentration of H+ (which is equal to the concentration of [H+) and the pH of the solution), we need to consider that H+ is produced from the dissociation of H2SO3, HSO3-, and NaH2PO4.
[H+] = [H2SO3] + [HSO3-] + [NaH2PO4]
Using these equations, you can calculate the pH and the concentrations of H2SO3, HSO3-, and SO32- in NaHSO3. Try plugging in the given Ka values and the initial concentration of NaHSO3 into the equations, and see if you can reach the provided results.
Are you supposed to use the quadratic formula? Given that C> 100Ka?
What do you mean by "results are attached"? Are those the answers in the key or your answers.
Check you typo. H2SO3- should be HSO3^-.
..........NaHSO3 ==> Na^+ + HSO3^-

k1 = (H^+)(SO3^2-)/(HSO3^-)
Substitute the E line and solve for x. You will need to solve the quadratic.
(H^+)=(SO3^2-) = about 0.0192 M
and (HSO3^-) = 0.05-0.0192 = ?
