Question

omework assignment is worth 20 points. HOL Consider the titration of 20.0 mL of a 0.100 M aqueous solution o strong monoprotic acid) with a 0.12 base). Calculate the pH of the solution at each of thè following points: f hydrochloric acid (HCI: a queous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH: a strong HCL 20wlO.IM Na0. 1. Before any base has been added to the solution. 2. Halfway to the equivalence point. 3. At the equivalence point. 4. After the addition of 10.0 mL of base past the equivalence point. 5. Sketch the form of the titration curve with important points.

Explanation / Answer

1) before addition of NaOH ,

pH = -log(H3O+)

     = -log(0.1)

     = 1

2) no of mol of HCl taken = 20*0.1 = 2 mmol

   at halfway to the equivalence point

no of mol of NaOH added = 1 mmol

volume of NaOH added = 1/0.12 = 8.33 ml

concentration of excess HCl = (2-1)/(28.33) = 0.0353 M

pH = -log(H3O+)

     = -log(0.0353)

    = 1.45

3) at equivalence point

   pH = 7 (because HCl,NaOH - are strong acid,bases)

4) no of mol of HCl taken = 20*0.1 = 2 mmol

no of mol of NaOH required to reach equivalence point = 20*0.1 = 2 mmol

volume of NaOH required to reach equivalence point = 2/0.12 = 16.66 ml

concentration of excess NaOH = (10*0.12)/(20+26.66) = 0.026 M

pH = 14 - (-log(OH-))

    = 14 - (-log(0.026))

   = 12.4
