Question

1. Titration of 331 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid (H2CO3) (Ka1 = 4.3 x 10-7, Ka2 = 5.6 x 10-11) with 1.5 M KOH.



b) What will the pH of the solution be when 0.1913 L of 1.5 M KOH are added to the 331 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid?


((I have the answers to this one but I have no idea how to do the questions))


2. Titration of 521 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid (H2CO3) (Ka1= 4.3 x 10-7, Ka2= 5.6 x 10-11) with 1.9 M KOH.



b) What will the pH of the solution be when 0.2432 L of 1.9 M KOH are added to the 521 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid?


Explanation / Answer

I forgot to take the 2nd hydrogen of carbonic acid into acount.

1) pH = 5.66

2)pH = 5.68
