Question

1. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would have to be added to 125 mL of a 0.498 M nitrous acid solution, in order to prepare a buffer with a pH of 3.100?

2. An aqueous solution contains 0.328 M hydrofluoric acid.
How many mL of 0.388 M potassium hydroxide would have to be added to 125 mL of this solution in order to prepare a buffer with a pH of 3.610?

3. Determine the pH during the titration of 29.4 mL of 0.107 M hydrobromic acid by 0.300 M sodium hydroxide at the following points:
(1) Before the addition of any sodium hydroxide:
(2) After the addition of 5.25 mL of sodium hydroxide:
(3) At the equivalence point:
(4) After adding 13.4 mL of sodium hydroxide:

4. Determine the pH during the titration of 16.3 mL of 0.108 M nitric acid by 2.32×10-2 M barium hydroxide at the following points:

(1) Before the addition of any barium hydroxide:
(2) After the addition of 19.0 mL of barium hydroxide:
(3) At the equivalence point:
(4) After adding 47.8 mL of barium hydroxide:

5. When a 17.6 mL sample of a 0.434 M aqueous acetic acid solution is titrated with a 0.303 M aqueous
sodium hydroxide solution, what is the pH after 37.8 mL of sodium hydroxide have been added?
pH =

6. A 30.4 mL sample of a 0.457 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.479 M aqueous
sodium hydroxide
solution. What is the pH after 11.3 mL of base have been added?
pH =

Explanation / Answer

1. No of mol of HNO2 = 125/1000*0.498 = 0.06225 mol

pka of HNO2 = 3.15


pH = pka + log(salt/acid)

   3.1 = 3.15+log(x/(0.06225-x))

x = 0.02933 mol

No of mol of NaOH required = 0.02933 mol

2. pka of HF = 3.17

No of mol of HF = 125/1000*0.388 = 0.0485 mol

pH = pka + log(salt/acid)

   3.61 = 3.17+log(x/(0.0485-x))

x = 0.0356 mol

volume of KOH required = 0.0356/0.388*1000 = 91.7 ml
