Solutions of Numerical Problems
10.
bCu2+(aq)= 0.005 mol/kg, bSO4--(aq) = 0.005 mol/kg
I = 0.5 Σ [zi2 (bi/b0)] [Eq. (1.14)]
I = 0.5 × [22 × (0.005/1) + (-2)2 × (0.005/1)] = 0.02
11.
Ib = 0.5 Σ (zi2 bi) [Eq. (1.15)]
Ib = Ib(HCl, 0.01 mol/kg) + Ib(CaCl2, 0.02 mol/kg)
= 0.5 × [12 × 0.01 + (-1)2 × 0.01] + 0.5 × [22 × 0.02 + (-1)2 × 0.04]
= 0.01 + 0.06 = 0.07 mol/kg
12.
Ka ≈ α2 bHA/ [(1-α) b0] [Eq. (1.34)]
pKa = 4.756 (Table 10.15)
-4.756 -5
Ka = 10 = 1.753 10
1.753 × 10 ≈ α2× 0.02 / [(1-α) × 1]
-5
α2 + 9 × 10-4 α - 9 × 10-4 = 0
According to quadratic formula
α = [-8.76 × 10-4 + (3.5 × 10-3)1/2] / 2 = 2.96×10-2 (dimensionless)
Simplified calculation: α ≈ [Ka b0/b] ½ = [1.753 × 10-5/ (2 × 10-2)]½ = 2.96×10-2 (dimensionless)
bH+(aq) = α bHA = 2.96×10-2 × 2 ×10-2 = 5.92 × 10-4 mol/kg
γH+ = 1 (dimensionless)
pH = -log10(aH+(aq)) [Eq. (1.35)]
-4
= -log10[bH+(aq)] = -log [5.92 × 10 ] = 3.23 (dimensionless)
14.
γ± [NaCl(aq), 0.01 mol/kg, exp] = 0.903 (Table 10.17)
γ±[NaCl(aq), 0.01 mol/kg, calc] = exp (- ADH|z+ z-| Ib ½) [Eq. (1.29)]
= exp [-1.172 × |1 × (-1)| × (0.01)1/2 ] = 0.8894
The difference is 0.903 – 0.8894 = 0.0136 (dimensionless)
15.
In the first approximation of the Debye-Huckel theory
ln γ± = - ADH|z+ z-| Ib ½ [Eq. (1.29)]
In the second approximation of the Debye-Huckel theory
ln γ± = - ADH|z+ z-| Ib ½ /(1+ BDHa0Ib ½) [Eq. (1.27)]
Ib = 0.5 × {(22 × 0.005) + [(-2)2 × 0.005]} = 0.02 mol/kg
γ± [CuSO4(aq), 0.005 mol/kg, limiting] = exp [-1.172 × 4 × (0.02)0.5] = 0.5153 (dimensionless)
γ± [CuSO4(aq), 0.005 mol/kg, 2nd approximation]
