A 60.0 mL solution of 0.112 M sulfurous acid (H2SO3) is titrated with 0.112 M NaOH. The pKa values of sulfurous acid are 1.857 (pKa1) and 7.172 (pKa2).

A) Calculate pH at the first equivalence point.
B) Calculate pH at the second equivalence point.

a)4.51

b) 9.96

Explanation:

Given:

NaOH = 0.112M

H2S03 = 0.112 M

V = 60 ml

H2S03 pKa1= 1.857

pKa2 = 7.172

a) to calculate pH at first equivalence point, we calculate the pH between pKa1 and pKa2 as it is in between.

Therefore, the half points will also be the middle point.

Solving, we have:

pH = (½)* pKa1 + pKa2

pH = (½) * (1.857 + 7.172)

= 4.51

Thus, pH at first equivalence point is 4.51

b) pH at second equivalence point:

We already know there is a presence of SO3-2, and it ionizes to form

SO3-2 + H2O <>HSO3- + OH-

[HSO3-] = x = [OH-]

mmol of SO3-2 = MV

= 0.112 * 60 = 6.72

We need to find the V of NaOh,

V of NaOh = (2 * mmol)/M

= (2 * 6.72)/0.122

= 120ml

For total V in equivalence point, we have:

60ml + 120ml = 180ml

[S03-2] = 6.72/120

= 0.056 M

Substituting for values gotten in the equation

We noe have:

=4.04

pH = 14- pOH

= 14 - 4.04

= 9.96

The pH at second equivalence point is 9.96

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.

rosa was looking for patterns to predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.she should record 2licl + 3o2.

in the last row of the table. it is the thermal decomposition of chlorate lithium, hence, she should record these products as: lithium chloride ( 2licl ) and oxygen ( 3o2 )   2 > 2 licl + 3o2.
