Explanation / Answer

millimoles of HClO= 50 x 0.160= 8

pKa = -logKa = = -log(4.0 x10^ -8.) = 7.4

a) before additon of KOH added

pH = 1/2 (pKa- log )

   = 1/2 (7.4 -log (0.160) ) = 4.10

pH= 4.10

(b) after addition of 25.0 mL of KOH

it is first equivalece point here pH = pKa

pH = 7.40

(c) after addition of 35.0 mL of KOH

millimoles of KOH = 35 x 0.160 = 5.6

HClO + KOH ------------------------------> KClO + H2O

8          5.6                                          0               0 -----------------------initial

2.4         0                                          5.6            5.6----------------equilibirum

in the solution acid and salt remained so it can form buffer

For acidic buffer

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log[salt/acid]

    = 7.4 + log (5.6 / 2.4)

    = 7.77

pH = 7.77

(d) after addition of 50.0 mL of KOH

millimoles of KOH = 0.160 x 50 = 8

HClO + KOH ------------------------------> KClO + H2O

8           8                                          0               0 -----------------------initial

0          0                                           8 8------------equilibirum

in the solution salt remained so we have to use salt hydrolysis.

it is the salt of strong base and weak acid so pH should be more than 7

[salt] = salt millimoles /total volume in ml

           = 8 /(50+50)

           = 0.08 M

pH = 7 + 1/2[Pka + logC]

   = 7 + 1/2 [7.4 + log (0.08)]

    = 10.15

pH = 10.15

e) after addition of 60.0 mL of KOH

pH = 12.16
