UA Final Review - Kate, Riya, Matthew

[Chem_Mod]

Hi everyone!

As promised, here is our Final Review worksheet covering Equilibrium through Thermodynamics. We hope that you will find it useful for your studying. Some of these problems are meant to be difficult; do not worry. Approach them as you would any test question: write out what you know, what you don't know, and work step-by-step to try and reach the final answer. Of course, due to the coronavirus situation there will be no in-person review session on Thursday. However, we will be posting complete worked-out solutions. It's been a great quarter with you all and we wish you the best!

For Q4. a), how do you know that 5.00 x 10^-3 mol H2C2O4 = 1.00 x 10^-2 mol H+?

For Q4. a), how do you know that 5.00 x 10^-3 mol H2C2O4 = 1.00 x 10^-2 mol H+?

Since oxalic acid is a diprotic acid, each molecule of oxalic acid has 2 protons that can be neutralized by a strong base. Therefore 5 x 10^-3 mol of oxalic acid has 2*(5 x 10^-3 mol) = 1 x 10^-2 mol of acidic protons that must be completely neutralized by NaOH.

For question 11, the van't hoff equation is written like ln(K2/K1) = -(deltaH/R)((1/T2) - (1/T1)). However, in the constants and equations sheet, the T2 and T1 are swapped, which would result in K2=0.0169 instead of 0.0186. I was wondering which form of the equation is correct and which we should use to solve these problems?

Keep in mind the negative sign. The equation used is in the answer key is correct. When you swap T2 and T1, you distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses and the deltaH/R term is positive ie. no negative sign. You most likely forgot about it. Try deriving the van't Hoff equation to verify that the equation is correct.

You also should be able to tell that your answer is incorrect because your K2 is less than K1; however we know it should increase when the temperature is increased because the reaction is endothermic.

For question 4 part b, how do you get the two equations for k1 and k2?

[Chem_Mod]

For question 4 part b, how do you get the two equations for k1 and k2?

Those are the equations for the first and second dissocation of oxalic acid, respectively. Since oxalic acid is a diprotic acid, it can dissociate 2 protons into solution. The first dissociation is when it gives off its first proton and the second dissociation is when it gives off its second proton. We often write the dissociation of polyprotic acids this way because each successive dissocation has a lower K value.

Regarding question 11: This is not representative of what would actually happen right? Because when temperature increased, K went up from 0.0177 to 0.0186, but isn't K supposed to decrease with increasing temperature?

No, this is what would actually happen. When a reaction is endothermic, increasing the temperature increases K. When a reaction is exothermic, increasing the temperature decreases K. The reaction has a positive change in enthalpy (endothermic), thus increasing the temperature leads to an increase in K. You learned this conceptually when learning about equilibrium and can now make quantitative assessments using thermodynamics (van't Hoff) and kinetics (Arrhenius).
