Question

9.50.00 mL of 0.10 M HNO2 (nitrous acid, Ka = 4.5 × 104) is titrated with a 0.10 M KOH solution. After 25.00 mL of the KOH solution is added, the pH in the titration flask will be: B. 3.35. C. 2.41. D. 1.48 E. 7.00 10. A 30 0-mL sample of o20 M HCOOH was titrated with 0.20 M NaOH. The following data were le of 0.20 M HCOOH was titrated with 0.20 M NaOH. The following data were collected during the titration. What is the Ka for HCOOH? mL of NaOH 5 added PH 3.07 3.47 4.07 4.77 A. 1.1 x 10-7 B. 1.7 x 104 C. 1.2 x 10 D. 4.9 × 10-11 E. None of these choices is correct. 11. Which of the following indicators would be the best to use when 0.050 M benzoic acid (G-6.6 × 10-5) is titrated with 0.05 M NaOH? A. bromphenol blue, pH range: 3.0-4.5 B. bromcresol green, pH range: 3.8-5.4 C. alizarin, pH range: 5.7-7.2 D. phenol red, pH range: 6.9-8.5

Explanation / Answer

9. pka = -log(4.5*10^-4) = 3.35

No of mol of HNO2 = 50/1000*0.1 = 0.005 mol

No of mol of KOH = 0.0025 mol

pH = 3.35+log(0.0025/0.0025)

   = 3.35

answer: B


10. pH = pka + log(salt/acid)

    No of mol of HCOOH = 30/1000*0.2 = 0.006 MOL

nO OF mol of NaOH added = 5/1000*0.2 = 0.001 mol

3.07 = x+log(0.001/0.005)

pka = 3.77

ka = 10^-3.77 = 1.7*10^-4

answer: B


11. pka = -log(6.6*10^-5) = 4.18

   pH = 7+1/2(4.18+log0.025) = 8.29

suitable indicator = phenolred

answer: D

16. answer: C because gas converts in to solution. disorderness decreases.
