Question

1 Calculate the acid ionization for Ka for propionic acid, HC3H5O2. The pH of a 0.012 M aqueous solution is 3.40.

                                                                                                                                    

4.2 Boric acid, B(OH)3, is used as a mild antiseptic. What is the pH of a solution of a 0.025 M aqueous solution of boric acid? What is the degree of ionization of boric acid? The hydrogen ion arises principally from the reaction:

                       

B(OH)3 (g) + H2O (l) = B(OH)4 -  (aq) + H+(aq)                   

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 5.9  .
