Question

A. A buffer solution is 0.349 M in HNO2 and 0.316 M in KNO2. If Ka for HNO2 is 4.5E-4, what is the pH of this buffer solution?

B.A buffer solution is 0.310 M in H2CO3 and 0.261 M in NaHCO3. If Ka for H2CO3 is 4.2E-7, what is the pH of this buffer solution?

C.What is the pH at the equivalence point in the titration of a 15.0 mL sample of a 0.334 M aqueous acetic acid solution with a 0.467 M aqueous barium hydroxide solution? Ph=??

D.A 39.9 mL sample of a 0.438 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.346 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. What is the pH after 20.6 mL of base have been added?

pH =

Explanation / Answer

A- pH =- log Ka + log [ conjugate base/acid]

pH = -log4.5x10^-4 + log [0.316/0.349]

pH =3.3468 -0.0431 = 3.3037

B-pH = -logKa + log [conjugate base / acid]

pH = - log 4.2 x10^-7 + log [0.216/0.310]

pH = 7- 0.6232+ log 0.8419

pH = 6.3768 - 0.074739= 6.30206

C)2CH3COOH + Ba(OH)2 ---> (CH3COO)2Ba + 2H2O

mole of acid/2 = mole of base required at eq. point =0.334 x15ml/2 = 2.505mmol

volume of base required = 2.505x10^-3mol/.467 M = 5.364 ml

total volume = 15 + 5.364= 20.364ml

molarity of barium accetate = 2.505 x10^-3 / 20.364 x10^-3 = 0.123M

Kw = KaKb

1.00 x 10-14 = (1.77 x 10-5 ) (y)

y= 5.65 x 10-10

5.65 x10^-10 = x^2 /0.123

x= .8336x10^-5

pOH = 4.921

pH = 14-4.921 = 9.079

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

mole of acid = 39.9ml x 0.438 = 17.4762 x10^-3 mol

mole of base = 20.6ml x 0.346 = 7.1276mmol

amount of NaClO formed = 7.1276mmol

amount of acid left = 10.3486mmol

pH = pKa + log[salt/acid]

pH = 7.42 + log [7.1276/10.3486] = 7.42-0. 16197 = 7.258
