Step 1
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where: - pH < 7 indicates an acidic solution. - pH = 7 indicates a neutral solution. - pH > 7 indicates a basic (alkaline) solution. Show more…

Calculation of $\mathbf{p} K_{\mathbf{a}}$ An unknown compound, $\mathbf{X},$ is thought to have a carboxyl group with a $\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}$ of 2.0 and another ionizable group with a $\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}$ between 5 and $8 .$ When $75 \mathrm{mL}$ of $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}$ is added to $100 \mathrm{mL}$ of a $0.1 \mathrm{M}$ solution of $\mathrm{X}$ at $\mathrm{pH} 2.0,$ the $\mathrm{pH}$ increases to 6.72. Calculate the $\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}$ of the second ionizable group of $\mathrm{X}$.
