How to calculate equilibrium constant with acid?
« on: September 18, 2011, 02:21:42 PM »
In an experiment we had 8 different bottles
     HCL           Water            C3H8O2      C2H4O2        C2H6O
     (ml)             (ml)                (ml)          (ml)           (ml)
1     5                 0                    5              0              0
2     5                 0                    0              1              4
3     5                 0                    0              2              3
4     5                 0                    0              3              2
5     5                 0                    4              0              1
6     5                 0                    4              1              0
7     5                 1                    4              0              0
8     5                 2                    3              0              0
Those are the solution in each bottle and we titrated them with NaOH (1.0 mol dm-3)

The amount of NaOH added to each bottle
1  46.4ml
2  17.7ml
3  18.8ml
4  12.8ml
5  33.7ml
6  41ml
7  31.3ml
8  30ml

We only know that HCL's concentration is (3.0 mol dm-3)
and the density of the solution C3H8O2 O.897g/ml
C2H4O2 1.049g/ml
C2H6O 0.789g/ml

how can I calculate the Kc for each bottle?

You should not be used HCl, it affects the ionization of acids.

for each of the bottles, can you write down the reaction equations? From there you can formulate Kc for each bottle in terms of concentrations.

you have the densities of the separate compounds and their molar mass, which will allow you to calculate the amount of moles of each compound in each bottle.
The amount of NaOH used will tell you how much of the HCl was not used in the initial mixing in the bottles
