Question -

The first ionization constant of H2­­S is 9.1 × 10–8. Calculate theconcentration of HS ion in its 0.1 M solution. How willthis concentration be affected if the solution is 0.1 M in HCl also? If thesecond dissociation constant of H2S is 1.2 × 10–13, calculate theconcentration of S2– under both conditions.



Answer -

(i) To calculate theconcentration of HS ion:

Case I (in theabsence of HCl):

Let the concentration of HS be M.

Case II (in thepresence of HCl):

Inthe presence of 0.1 M of HCl, let  be M.

(ii) Tocalculate the concentration of:

Case I (in theabsence of 0.1 M HCl):

 (Fromfirst ionization, case I)

Let 

Also, 
 (Fromfirst ionization, case I)

Case II (in thepresence of 0.1 M HCl):

Again, let the concentration of HS– be X’ M.

 (Fromfirst ionization, case II)

 (FromHCl, case II)
