10 分A student investigates the chemical properties and thermochemistry of glycolic acid, \(\text{HOCH}_2\text{COOH}\) (molar mass \(76.05\text{ g/mol}\)), which is a monoprotic carboxylic acid commonly used in skincare products.
$$\text{HOCH}_2\text{COOH}(aq) + \text{KOH}(aq) \rightarrow \text{KOCH}_2\text{COO}(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l)$$
(a) The structural formula of glycolic acid is shown below:
```
H O
| ||
H--C---C--O--H
|
O--H
```
Identify the hydrogen atom that is removed when glycolic acid reacts with potassium hydroxide, \(\text{KOH}\), by specifying whether it is bonded to the carbon atom, the alcohol oxygen atom, or the carboxyl oxygen atom.
(b) The student prepares a standard solution of potassium hydroxide by dissolving \(7.01\text{ g}\) of solid \(\text{KOH}\) (molar mass \(56.11\text{ g/mol}\)) in distilled water to make a total volume of \(250.0\text{ mL}\). Calculate the molarity of the \(\text{KOH}\) solution.
(c) The student titrates a \(20.0\text{ mL}\) sample of a \(0.100\text{ M}\) glycolic acid solution with the \(\text{KOH}\) solution prepared in part (b). The equivalence point is reached when \(4.00\text{ mL}\) of \(\text{KOH}(aq)\) is added. At a volume of \(2.00\text{ mL}\) of \(\text{KOH}(aq)\) added, the measured \(\text{pH}\) of the mixture is \(3.83\).
(i) State the value of \(\text{p}K_a\) for glycolic acid based on this titration.
(ii) Calculate the acid dissociation constant, \(K_a\), of glycolic acid.
(d) In another container, the student mixes \(30.0\text{ mL}\) of \(0.100\text{ M}\) glycolic acid with \(10.0\text{ mL}\) of the \(0.500\text{ M KOH}\) solution. Does the resulting mixture have a \(\text{pH}\) that is less than, equal to, or greater than the \(\text{p}K_a\) of glycolic acid? Justify your answer by comparing the concentrations of glycolic acid and glycolate ion present in the solution.
(e) In a separate experiment, the student determines the molar enthalpy of neutralization for the reaction between glycolic acid and potassium hydroxide. The student mixes \(50.0\text{ mL}\) of \(0.800\text{ M}\) glycolic acid at \(21.5^\circ\text{C}\) with \(50.0\text{ mL}\) of \(0.800\text{ M KOH}\) at \(21.5^\circ\text{C}\) in an insulated coffee-cup calorimeter. The maximum temperature reached by the mixture is \(26.9^\circ\text{C}\). Assume that the total mass of the mixture is \(100.0\text{ g}\) and the specific heat capacity of the mixture is \(4.18\text{ J}/(\text{g}\cdot^\circ\text{C})\).
(i) Calculate the quantity of heat, \(q\), absorbed by the solution, in joules.
(ii) Calculate the molar enthalpy of neutralization, \(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\), in \(\text{kJ}/\text{mol}_{\text{rxn}}\). Include the algebraic sign in your answer.
(iii) The student did not replace the calorimeter lid quickly enough after mixing, allowing a small amount of heat to escape to the surroundings before the maximum temperature was recorded. Explain how this experimental error affects the experimentally determined value of the magnitude of \(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\).

解題
(a) The hydrogen atom bonded to the carboxyl oxygen atom (the \(-\text{COOH}\) group) is the most acidic proton due to resonance stabilization of the conjugate base (carboxylate anion).
(b) Moles of \(\text{KOH} = \frac{7.01\text{ g}}{56.11\text{ g/mol}} = 0.1249\text{ mol}\)
Volume of solution \(= 250.0\text{ mL} = 0.2500\text{ L}\)
\(\text{Molarity} = \frac{0.1249\text{ mol}}{0.2500\text{ L}} = 0.500\text{ M}\)
(c)(i) At the half-equivalence point (\(2.00\text{ mL}\) added, which is half of \(4.00\text{ mL}\)), \([\text{HA}] = [\text{A}^-]\), so \(\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a\).
Therefore, \(\text{p}K_a = 3.83\).
(c)(ii) \(K_a = 10^{-\text{p}K_a} = 10^{-3.83} = 1.48 \times 10^{-4}\)
(d) Initial moles of glycolic acid \(= 0.0300\text{ L} \times 0.100\text{ M} = 0.00300\text{ mol}\)
Moles of \(\text{OH}^-\) added \(= 0.0100\text{ L} \times 0.500\text{ M} = 0.00500\text{ mol}\)
Because the moles of strong base (\(0.00500\text{ mol}\)) exceed the initial moles of weak acid (\(0.00300\text{ mol}\)), all the acid is converted to conjugate base (\(0.00300\text{ mol}\)) and excess \(\text{OH}^-\) (\(0.00200\text{ mol}\)) remains. Thus, the solution is basic with a \(\text{pH} > 7\), which is significantly greater than \(\text{p}K_a = 3.83\).
Alternatively, past the half-equivalence point / equivalence point, \([\text{A}^-] > [\text{HA}]\), so by \(\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log\frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]}\), \(\text{pH} > \text{p}K_a\).
(e)(i) \(\Delta T = 26.9^\circ\text{C} - 21.5^\circ\text{C} = 5.4^\circ\text{C}\)
\(q = mc\Delta T = (100.0\text{ g})(4.18\text{ J}/(\text{g}\cdot^\circ\text{C}))(5.4^\circ\text{C}) = 2257.2\text{ J} \approx 2.3 \times 10^3\text{ J}\) (or \(2260\text{ J}\) to 2 significant figures based on \(\Delta T\)).
(e)(ii) Moles of glycolic acid \(= 0.0500\text{ L} \times 0.800\text{ M} = 0.0400\text{ mol}\)
Moles of \(\text{KOH} = 0.0500\text{ L} \times 0.800\text{ M} = 0.0400\text{ mol}\)
\(\text{Moles of reaction} = 0.0400\text{ mol}_{\text{rxn}}\)
\(q_{\text{rxn}} = -q_{\text{soln}} = -2257.2\text{ J} = -2.2572\text{ kJ}\)
\(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}} = \frac{-2.2572\text{ kJ}}{0.0400\text{ mol}_{\text{rxn}}} = -56.4\text{ kJ}/\text{mol}_{\text{rxn}}\) (acceptable range \(-56\) to \(-57\text{ kJ}/\text{mol}_{\text{rxn}}\)).
(e)(iii) If heat is lost to the surroundings, the measured maximum temperature will be lower than expected, resulting in an experimentally determined \(\Delta T\) that is too small. A smaller \(\Delta T\) produces a smaller calculated value of \(q_{\text{soln}}\), which makes the calculated magnitude of \(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\) smaller than the true magnitude.
(b) Moles of \(\text{KOH} = \frac{7.01\text{ g}}{56.11\text{ g/mol}} = 0.1249\text{ mol}\)
Volume of solution \(= 250.0\text{ mL} = 0.2500\text{ L}\)
\(\text{Molarity} = \frac{0.1249\text{ mol}}{0.2500\text{ L}} = 0.500\text{ M}\)
(c)(i) At the half-equivalence point (\(2.00\text{ mL}\) added, which is half of \(4.00\text{ mL}\)), \([\text{HA}] = [\text{A}^-]\), so \(\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a\).
Therefore, \(\text{p}K_a = 3.83\).
(c)(ii) \(K_a = 10^{-\text{p}K_a} = 10^{-3.83} = 1.48 \times 10^{-4}\)
(d) Initial moles of glycolic acid \(= 0.0300\text{ L} \times 0.100\text{ M} = 0.00300\text{ mol}\)
Moles of \(\text{OH}^-\) added \(= 0.0100\text{ L} \times 0.500\text{ M} = 0.00500\text{ mol}\)
Because the moles of strong base (\(0.00500\text{ mol}\)) exceed the initial moles of weak acid (\(0.00300\text{ mol}\)), all the acid is converted to conjugate base (\(0.00300\text{ mol}\)) and excess \(\text{OH}^-\) (\(0.00200\text{ mol}\)) remains. Thus, the solution is basic with a \(\text{pH} > 7\), which is significantly greater than \(\text{p}K_a = 3.83\).
Alternatively, past the half-equivalence point / equivalence point, \([\text{A}^-] > [\text{HA}]\), so by \(\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log\frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]}\), \(\text{pH} > \text{p}K_a\).
(e)(i) \(\Delta T = 26.9^\circ\text{C} - 21.5^\circ\text{C} = 5.4^\circ\text{C}\)
\(q = mc\Delta T = (100.0\text{ g})(4.18\text{ J}/(\text{g}\cdot^\circ\text{C}))(5.4^\circ\text{C}) = 2257.2\text{ J} \approx 2.3 \times 10^3\text{ J}\) (or \(2260\text{ J}\) to 2 significant figures based on \(\Delta T\)).
(e)(ii) Moles of glycolic acid \(= 0.0500\text{ L} \times 0.800\text{ M} = 0.0400\text{ mol}\)
Moles of \(\text{KOH} = 0.0500\text{ L} \times 0.800\text{ M} = 0.0400\text{ mol}\)
\(\text{Moles of reaction} = 0.0400\text{ mol}_{\text{rxn}}\)
\(q_{\text{rxn}} = -q_{\text{soln}} = -2257.2\text{ J} = -2.2572\text{ kJ}\)
\(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}} = \frac{-2.2572\text{ kJ}}{0.0400\text{ mol}_{\text{rxn}}} = -56.4\text{ kJ}/\text{mol}_{\text{rxn}}\) (acceptable range \(-56\) to \(-57\text{ kJ}/\text{mol}_{\text{rxn}}\)).
(e)(iii) If heat is lost to the surroundings, the measured maximum temperature will be lower than expected, resulting in an experimentally determined \(\Delta T\) that is too small. A smaller \(\Delta T\) produces a smaller calculated value of \(q_{\text{soln}}\), which makes the calculated magnitude of \(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\) smaller than the true magnitude.
