Chapter 19: Q19.124CP (page 877)

The acid-base indicator ethyl orange turns from red to yellow over the pH range 3.4 to 4.8 . Estimate Ka for ethyl orange.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The estimation is Ka=7.9×10-5for ethyl.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of the Concept

Acid-base indicators are indicators that are used to determine the concentration of an acid in a solution. They are usually coloured organic dyes that are either weak acid or base. In aqueous solution, they form an equilibrium with their conjugate base or acid, respectively.

02

Estimation Ka for ethyl

We can presume that the indicator's central value is value range of transition In this instance, becausethe range is from 3.4 to 4.8, we can presume the value is the central value, which can be calculated using the following equation:

3.4+4.82=4.1

We only need to calculate an estimate Ka for ethyl orange now:

Ka=10-pKa=10-4.1Ka=7.9×10-5

Hence, the estimation is role="math" localid="1663754776209" Ka=7.9×10-5
for ethyl orange.

EDTA binds metal ions to form complex ions (see Problem), so it is used to determine the concentrations of metal ions in solution:

Mn +(aq) + EDTA4 -(aq)→MEDTAn - 4(aq)

A 50.0 - mLsample of 0.048 M Co2 +is titrated with 0.050 M EDTA4 -.Find [Co2 +]and [EDTA4 -]after.

  1. 25.0 mLand
  2. 75.0 mLofEDTA4 -are added (logKfof CoEDTA2 -= 16.31).

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (abbreviatedH4EDTA) is a tetraprotic acid. Its salts are used to treat toxic metal poisoning by forming soluble complex ions that are then excreted. Because EDTA4-also binds essential calcium ions, it is often administered as the calcium disodium salt. For example, whenNa2Ca(EDTA) is given to a patient [Ca(EDTA)]2-, the ions react with circulating ions and the metal ions are exchanged:

[Ca(EDTA)]2-(aq)+Pb2+(aq)[Pb(EDTA)]2-(aq)+Ca2+(aq)Kc=2.5×107

A child has a dangerous blood lead level of 120μg/100mL. If the child is administered 100mL of 0.10MNaNa2(EDTA), assuming the exchange reaction and excretion process are 100%efficient, what is the final concentration of Pb2+inμg/100mLblood? (Total blood volume is1.5L.)
