How many grams of dipotassium succinate trihydrate(K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O, MW = 248.32 g/mol) must be added to 800.0 mL of a0.0524 M succinic acid solution to produce a pH of 5.969? Succinicacid has pKa values of 4.207 (pKa1) and 5.636 (pKa2).

no of moles of succinic acid = molarity * volume in L

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 0.0524*0.8Â Â = 0.04192moles

Â Â PH = Pka2 + log[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]

5.969 = 4.207 + log[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]

log[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O] = 5.969-4.207

log[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]Â Â = 1.762

[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 10^1.762

[K2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]/[H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O]Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 57.8

no of moles of K2C4H4O4Â·3H2OÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 57.8*no of moles H2C4H4O4Â·3H2O

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 57.8*0.04192Â Â = 2.43moles

mass of K2C4H4O4Â·3H2OÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â = no of moles * gram molar mass

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 2.43*248.32Â Â = 603.4 g >>>> answer
