The theoretical molar yield is 2.0 mol (the molar amount of the limiting compound, acetic acid). The molar yield of the product is calculated from its weight (132 g ÷ 88 g/mol = 1.5 mol). The % yield is calculated from the actual molar yield and the theoretical molar yield (1.5 mol ÷ 2.0 mol × 100% = 75%). [citation needed]
The equation can be further simplified to calculate the pH by taking the negative logarithm of both sides to yield p H = p K 1 + p K 2 2 {\displaystyle pH={{pK_{1}+pK_{2}} \over {2}}} which shows that under certain conditions, the isoionic and isoelectric point are similar.
The Charlot equation, named after Gaston Charlot, is used in analytical chemistry to relate the hydrogen ion concentration, and therefore the pH, with the formal analytical concentration of an acid and its conjugate base. It can be used for computing the pH of buffer solutions when the approximations of the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation ...
The pH range is commonly given as zero to 14, but a pH value can be less than 0 for very concentrated strong acids or greater than 14 for very concentrated strong bases. [ 2 ] The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by international agreement. [ 3 ]
This is illustrated in the image here, where the balanced equation is: CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) → CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (l) Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of liquid water. This particular chemical equation is an example of complete combustion.
Given its greater H + concentration, the formula yields a lower pH value for the weak base. However, pH of bases is usually calculated in terms of the OH − concentration. This is done because the H + concentration is not a part of the reaction, whereas the OH − concentration is. The pOH is defined as:
The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation can be used to model these equilibria. It is important to maintain this pH of 7.4 to ensure enzymes are able to work optimally. [10] Life threatening Acidosis (a low blood pH resulting in nausea, headaches, and even coma, and convulsions) is due to a lack of functioning of enzymes at a low pH. [10]
A Bjerrum plot is obtained by using these three equations to plot these three species against pH = −log 10 [H +] eq, for given K 1, K 2 and DIC. The fractions in these equations give the three species' relative proportions, and so if DIC is unknown, or the actual concentrations are unimportant, these proportions may be plotted instead.
