Question

Your help would be appreciated on these.. I couldn't figurethem out on the class quiz. What mass of potassiumhypochlorite must be added to 450. mL of water to give a solutionwith pH = 10.20? [Ka(HClO) = 4.0 ×108] and also what is the pH of a solution preparedby mixing 100. mL of 0.0500 M HCl with 300. mL of 0.500 M HF?[Ka(HF) = 7.1 ×104]? Your help would be appreciated on these..

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER )

the reaction will takes place as follows :-

ClO- + H2O <----> HClO + OH-

So at equilibrium we can say that

[OH-] = [HClO]

As pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 10.20 =3.80

and pOH =- log (OH)
[OH-] = 10^-3.80 =1.584 *10-4 M

K = Kw/Ka = 10-14 / 4.0 x 10-8 =2.5 x 10-7

2.5 x 10-7 = [OH-][HClO] / [ClO-] = ( 1.584 x 10-4)2 / [ClO-]

[ClO-] = 0.1003 M

moles in 0.450 L = 0.1003 x 0.450 =0.04513 M

The Mass KClO is equal to = 0.045135 mol x 90.55 g/mol = 4.086 g

Answer 2) first we calculate the individual H+ concentration

[H+] due to HCL = 0.05*100/400 = 0.0125 M

[H+] due to HF = 0.0185*300/400 = 0.0139 M

Now we add the H+ concentration

[H+] = 0.0125+0.0139 = 0.0264 M

by applying the formula

pH = -log[H+] =

pH= -log (0.0264) = 1.578

Hence the pH comes out to be equal to =1.578
