Explanation / Answer

1. To calculate pH of the solution 6, we use Handerson Hasselbach Equation.

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]

pKa of HOAc = 4.75

[A-] = concentration of NaOAc in soluution =>

concentration of NaOAc used = 0.10 M

volume of NaOAc used = 40.0 ml

Toal volume of solution = 40.0+30.0 = 70.0 ml

[NaOAc] = 0.10*40.0/70.0 = 0.057 M

Similarly for,

[HA] = concentration of HOAc in soluution =>

concentration of HOAc used = 0.10 M

volume of HOAc used = 30.0 ml

Toal volume of solution = 40.0+30.0 = 70.0 ml

[HOAc] = 0.10*30.0/70.0 = 0.043 M

In Handerson Hasselbach equation,

pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]

= 4.75 + log (0.057/0.043)

= 4.87

2. To calculate pH of the solution 7,

20.0 ml buffer and 2.0 ml 0.100 M HCl

In 20.0 ml of buffer,

moles of HOAc = concentration*volume = 0.043*0.020 = 8.6*10-4 mol

moles of NaOAc = concentration*volume = 0.057*0.020 = 11.4*10-4 mol

Moles of HCl = concentration*volume = 0.100*0.002 = 2*10-4 mol

Out of HOAc and NaOAC, HCl will react with NaOAc,

so,  

OAc- + H+ ------> HOAc

ICE table:

Applying Handerson Hasselbach equation,

pH = 4.75 + log (9.4*10-4)/(10.6*10-4)

= 4.70

3. To calculate pH of the solution 8,

20.0 ml buffer and 2.0 ml 0.100 M NaOH

In 20.0 ml of buffer,

moles of HOAc = concentration*volume = 0.043*0.020 = 8.6*10-4 mol

moles of NaOAc = concentration*volume = 0.057*0.020 = 11.4*10-4 mol

Moles of NaOH = concentration*volume = 0.100*0.002 = 2*10-4 mol

Out of HOAc and NaOAC, NaOH will react with HOAc (because HOAc is an acid and NaOH is a base)

so,  

HOAc + OH- ------> H2O + OAc-

ICE table:

Applying Handerson Hasselbach equation,

pH = 4.75 + log (13.4*10-4)/(6.6*10-4)

= 5.06

4. On addition of water, there is no change in pH of the buffer, so pH will remain same.

pH = 4.87 (as shown in part 1)
