Question

Please solve question 3 and 4 only (they are very closely interconnected). Thank you!

Propanoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid with the formula HC3H5O2. It partially dissociates in
water to release hydronium ions (H3O*) and propanoate ions (C;H5O2-). We can abbreviate
propanoic acid as “HPro" and the propanoate ion as Prol-. The acid-dissociation equilibrium for
propanoic acid is described below.
HPro (aq) + H2O () = H3O*(aq) + Pro- (aq)
At 25°C, Ka, is 1.3 × 10-5
1)
Write the mass-action expression for this reaction. (As a pure liquid, H2O is not included).
The K value for this reaction is equal to Ka.
2)
Use an "ICE" (or "IAE" table to determine the concentrations of HPro, H3O†, and Prol- in an
aqueous solution of 0.160 M HPro.
3)
Based on the value for [H3O*], calculate the pH of this 0.160 M HPro solution.
4) Calculate the value for [OH¯] of this 0.160 M HPro solution.
5) The percent dissociation of a weak acid depends on the initial concentration of HA ([HA]o).
It is found using this value and the equilibrium concentration of {H*] ([H*]e).
