Question

Please help me answer the following problem: I have 30.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of a weak acid in a flask, and I am planning to titrate this weak acid (3-nitrophenol) with a 0.300 M solution of NaOH. I need to calculate the following.

A.) Volume at the equivalence point.

B.)The starting pH of nitrophenol-3.

C.) The pH when 1 mL of NaOH has been added.

D.) The pH and 1/2 Ve.

E.) The pH 1 mL before the equivalence point.

F)The pH at the equivalence point.

G) The pH 1 ml after the equivalence point.

H) The pH 10 mL after the equivalence point..

Please add as much detail as you can! Thank you

Explanation / Answer

3-nitrophenol (acid) , pKa value = 8.36

A.) Volume at the equivalence point.

at equivalence point millimoles of acid (phenol compound) = millimoles of base

30 x 0.1 = V x 0.3

V = 10 mL

NaOH volume at the equivalence point = 10 mL

B.)The starting pH of nitrophenol-3.

C   = 0.1 M

pKa = 8.36

pH = 1/2 [pKa -logC]

pH = 1/2 (8.36 - log 0.1)

pH = 4.68

C.) The pH when 1 mL of NaOH has been added.

millimoles of acid = 30 x 0.1 = 3

millimoles of NaOH = 1 x 0.3 = 0.3

acid    + OH- ----------------------> salt

3              0.3                                  0 --------------------> initial

2.7           0                                      0.3 ------------------> after reaction

pH = pKa + log [salt /acid]

pH = 8.36 + log (0.3 /2.7)

pH = 7.41

D.) The pH and 1/2 Ve.

at this point

pH = pka

pH = 8.36
