Question

eneral Chemistry 4th Edition University Science Books presented by Sapling Learning Calculate the pH for each of the following cases in the titration of 50.0 mL of 0.180 M HCIO (aq) with 0.180 M KOH(aq). The ionization constant for HCIO can be found here. Number (a) before addition of any KOH Number (b) after addition of 25.0 mL of KOH Number (c) after addition of 40.0 mL of KOH Number (d) after addition of 50.0 mL of KOH Number (e) after addition of 60.0 mL of KOH Previous & Give Up & View SolutionCheck Answer Next Hint

Explanation / Answer

a) before addition of KOH

pka of HOCl = 7.53

pH of weak acid = 1/2(pka-logC)

    C = concentration of acid = 0.18 M

pH = 1/2(7.53-log0.18)

    = 4.14

b) pka of HOCl = 7.53

   no of mol of HOCl = 50*0.18 = 9 mmol

   no of mol of koh = 25.0*0.18 = 4.5 mmol

pH = pka + log(KOCl/HOCl)

     = 7.53 + log(4.5/(9-4.5))

    = 7.53

  
C) pka of HOCl = 7.53

   no of mol of HOCl = 50*0.18 = 9 mmol

   no of mol of koh = 40*0.18 = 7.2 mmol

pH = pka + log(KOCl/HOCl)

     = 7.53 + log(7.2/(9-7.2))

     = 8.13

d)

   no of mol of HOCl = 50*0.18 = 9 mmol

   no of mol of koh = 50*0.18 = 9 mmol

total HOCl Reacts with KOH and gives KOCl

concentration of KOCl = n/v = 9/100 = 0.09 M

pH of KOCl = 7+1/2(pka+logC)

pka of HOCl = 7.53

concentration of KOCl = 0.09 M

            = 7+1/2(7.53+log0.09)

            = 10.24

e)    no of mol of HOCl = 50*0.18 = 9 mmol

   no of mol of koh = 60*0.18 = 10.8 mmol

excess KOH = 10.8-9 = 1.8 mmol

concentration of excess KOH = 1.8/110 = 0.016 M

pOH = -log(OH-)

     = -log(0.016)

     = 1.8

pH = 14-1.8 = 12.2
