Question

titration of 25.0 mL of 0.150 M HNO3 with 0.150 M NaOH, perform the calculations required to check agreement with experimental values for the following volumes of titrant.

 

(For points before the equivalence point, the calculations required are amount acid reacted, amount acid remaining, concentration of acid remaining, and pH.

 

For points after the equivalence point, the calculations required are  amount of excess hydroxide, concentration of hydroxide, pOH, and pH.)

 

1. 12.0 mL

 


2. 22.5 mL

 

 
3. 38.0 mL

Explanation / Answer

HNO3 + NaOH -------------> NaNO3 + H2O

millimoles of HNO3 = 25 x 0.15 = 3.75

1) 12 mL of NaOH added

millimoles NaOH added = 12 x 0.15 = 1.8

3.75 - 1.8 =1.95 millimoles HNO3 left

total volume = 25 + 12 = 37mL

[HNO3] = 1.95 / 37 = 0.0527 M HNO3 left

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log [0.0527]

pH = 1.28

2) 22.5 mL NaOH added

millimoles of NaOH = 22.5 x 0.15 = 3.375

3.75 - 3.375 = 0.375 millimoles HNO3 left

total volume = 25 + 22.5 = 47.5 mL

[HNO3] = 0.375 / 47.5 = 0.00789 M

pH = - log [0.00789]

pH = 2.10

3) 38 mL NaOH added

millimoles of NaOH added = 38 x 0.15 = 5.7

5.7 - 3.75 = 1.95 millimoles NaOH exess present

total volume = 25 + 38 = 63 mL

[NaOH] = 1.95 / 63 = 0.031 M

pOH = - log [OH-]

pOH = - log [0.031]

pOH = 1.51

pH = 14 - 1.51

pH = 12.49
