Chapter 6: Q34P (page 143)

Write the autoprotolysis reaction of $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The autoprotolysis reaction for $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ is:

role="math" localid="1663387364297" $2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⇌ {HSO}_{4}^{-} + H_{3} {SO}_{4}^{+}$

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Autoprolysis Reaction

Auto protolysis is the process in which a proton is transported between two indistinguishable molecules. One molecule acts as a Bronsted -Lowry base, and another acts as a Bronsted Lowry acid.

02

Autoprolysis Reaction

The autoprotolysis reaction for $H_{2} {SO}_{4}$ is:

$2 H_{2} {SO}_{4} ⇌ {HSO}_{4}^{-} + H_{3} {SO}_{4}^{+}$

In this reaction, two molecules of Sulfuric acid are reacted. One molecule transfers its proton to another molecule.

The proton donating molecule is said to be a Bronsted-Lowry acid, and the proton accepting molecule is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Although $KOH, RbOH$ and CsOHhave little association between metal and hydroxide in aqueous solution, ${Li}^{+}$ and ${Na}^{+}$ do form complexes with:

role="math" localid="1663390733265" ${Li}^{+} + {OH}^{-} ⇌ LiOH (aq) K_{1} = \frac{[LiOH (aq)]}{[{Li}^{+}] [{OH}^{-}]} = 0.83$

${Na}^{+} + {OH}^{-} ⇌ NaOH (aq) K_{1} = 0.20$

Prepare a table like the one in Exercise 6-B showing initial and final Concentrations of ${Na}^{+} + {OH}^{-} ⇌ NaOH (aq)$ and (aq)insolution. Calculate the fraction of sodium in the form (aq)at equilibrium.

$K_{b}$ for dimethylamine is $5.9 \times 10^{- 4}$ . Find $K_{a}$ for dimethyl ammonium ion.

Question: (a) From K_w in Table 6-1, calculate the pH of pure water at 0⁰,20⁰, and 40⁰C.

(b) For the reaction , at 25⁰C. In this equation, D stands for deuterium, which is the isotope ²H. What is the pD (=-log[D⁺]) for neutral D₂O?

Use Le Châtelier’s principle and Kw in Table 6-1 to decide whether the autoprotolysis of water is endothermic or exothermic at 25⁰C; (b)100⁰C; (c)300⁰C.

Find $[{OH}^{-}]$ iflocalid="1663407699090" $[H^{+}] = 1.0 \times 10^{- 4} M [H^{+}] = 1.0 \times 10^{- 4} M$
