4. Suppose you have just added 100.0 ml of a solution containing 1.00 mole of acetic acid per liter to 500.0 ml of 0.100 M KOH. What is the final pH? The Ka of acetic acid is 1.77 × 10-5.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Answer

a) 11.23

Explanation

Ka = Kw/Kb = 1.00×10-14/5.40×10-4 = 1.85×10-11

pKa = - log(Ka) = - log(1.85×10-11)= 10.73

pH = pKa + log([Cojucate base/acid]

pH = 10.73 + log(1.10M/0.350M)

pH = 10.73 + 0.50

pH = 11.23

2)

b) CO2

3)

Answer

b) 7.58

Explanation

NaOH + HClO - - - - - > NaClO + H2O

Initial moles of HClO = (0.150mol/1000ml)×25ml = 0.00375

moles of NaOH added = (0.150mol/1000ml)×13.3ml = 0.001995

0.001995 moles of NaOH react with 0.001995 moles of HClO

to produce 0.001995moles of NaClO

After addition

No of moles of HClO = 0.00375 - 0.001995 =0.001755

No of moles of ClO- produced = 0.001995

Total volume = 25 + 13.3 = 38.3ml

[HClO] = (0.001755mol/38.3ml)×1000ml = 0.0458M

[ClO-]= (0.001995mol/38.3ml)×1000ml = 0.0521M

pKa = - log(Ka) = - log(3.0×10-8) = 7.52

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

pH = 7.52 + log(0.0521M/0.0458M)

pH = 7.52 + 0.06

pH = 7.58

4)

NaOH + CH3COOH - - - - - - - > CH3COONa + H2O

Initial moles of NaOH = (0.100 mol/1000ml)×500ml = 0.0500

moles of CH3COOH added = (1.00mol/1000ml)×100ml = 0.100mol

0.0500moles of NaOH react with 0.0500moles of CH3COOH to produce 0.0500moles of CH3COO-

after addition

No of moles of CH3COOH = 0.100- 0.050 = 0.050

No of moles of CH3COO- = 0.0500

Total volume = 600ml

[CH3COO-]= (0.0500mol/600ml)×1000ml = 0.0833M

[CH3COOH] = (0.0500mol/600ml)×1000ml = 0.0833M

pKa = - logKa= - log(1.77×10-5) = 4.75

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

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

pH = 4.75 + log(0.0833M/0.0833M)

pH = 4.75
