Question

1.The strong acid, HCl, is titrated with a strong base, NaOH, in aqueous solution. What is the pH of the titration solution after the addition of 15.31 mL of 0.100 M NaOH to a 50.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl ?

2. A weak acid, HA, is titrated with a strong base, NaOH. If 25.00 mL of the 0.1000 M HA is titrated with 19.95 mL of 0.1000 M NaOH, what is the pH of the titration solution?

For HA, Ka = 1.8 x 10-6

3. Monoprotic weak acid, HA, is titrated with strong base, NaOH, in aqueous solution. If 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HA is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH, what is the pH of the titration solution after the addition of 29.15 mL of NaOH?

Explanation / Answer

1)

Given:

M(HCl) = 0.1 M

V(HCl) = 50 mL

M(NaOH) = 0.1 M

V(NaOH) = 15.31 mL

mol(HCl) = M(HCl) * V(HCl)

mol(HCl) = 0.1 M * 50 mL = 5 mmol

mol(NaOH) = M(NaOH) * V(NaOH)

mol(NaOH) = 0.1 M * 15.31 mL = 1.531 mmol

We have:

mol(HCl) = 5 mmol

mol(NaOH) = 1.531 mmol

1.531 mmol of both will react

remaining mol of HCl = 3.469 mmol

Total volume = 65.31 mL

[H+]= mol of acid remaining / volume

[H+] = 3.469 mmol/65.31 mL

= 0.0531 M

use:

pH = -log [H+]

= -log (5.312*10^-2)

= 1.2748

Answer: 1.27

2)

Given:

M(HA) = 0.1 M

V(HA) = 25 mL

M(NaOH) = 0.1 M

V(NaOH) = 19.95 mL

mol(HA) = M(HA) * V(HA)

mol(HA) = 0.1 M * 25 mL = 2.5 mmol

mol(NaOH) = M(NaOH) * V(NaOH)

mol(NaOH) = 0.1 M * 19.95 mL = 1.995 mmol

We have:

mol(HA) = 2.5 mmol

mol(NaOH) = 1.995 mmol

1.995 mmol of both will react

excess HA remaining = 0.505 mmol

Volume of Solution = 25 + 19.95 = 44.95 mL

[HA] = 0.505 mmol/44.95 mL = 0.0112M

[A-] = 1.995/44.95 = 0.0444M

They form acidic buffer

acid is HA

conjugate base is A-

Ka = 1.8*10^-6

pKa = - log (Ka)

= - log(1.8*10^-6)

= 5.745

use:

pH = pKa + log {[conjugate base]/[acid]}

= 5.745+ log {4.438*10^-2/1.123*10^-2}

= 6.341

Answer: 6.34
