Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

Part A ) pH= pka at the half equivalence point of the titration in the given titration plot the 100 ml acid is added to react the equivalence point of the titration therefore to reach the half equivalence point volume of acid needed = 100 ml / 2 = 50 ml

Therefore pH= pka at the 50 ml acid added .

Part B)

The 100 ml of acid added to the titration reaches the equivalence point therefore after the 100 ml of acid the pH of the solution only depends on the volume of the acid.

Therefore the pH depends only on volume of acid added when 120 ml strong acid is added

So the answer is 120 ml strong acid

Part C) Lets first calculate the moles of the HONH2 and HCl

Moles = molarity * volume in liter

Moles of HONH2 = 0.20 mol per L * 0.030 L = 0.006 mol HONH2

Moles of HCl =0.20 mol per L * 0.00905 L = 0.00181 mol HCl

After the reaction HCl react with the HONH2

Therefore new moles of HONH2 = 0.006 – 0.00181 = 0.00419 mol

Moles of conjugate acid H2ONH2+ = 0.00181 mol

New molarities at the total volume 30.0 ml + 9.05 ml = 39.05 ml = 0.03905 L are as follows

[HONH2]= 0.00419 mol / 0.03905 L = 0.1073 M

[H2ONH2+] = 0.00181 mol / 0.03905 L = 0.04635 M

Now lets calculate the pOH using the Henderson equation

pOH = pkb + log ([acid]/[base])

pkb = -log kb

       = -log 1.1*10^-8

      = 7.96

pH= 7.96 + log [0.04635/0.1073]

pH= 7.60

therefore pH= 7.60
