A titration involves adding a reactant of known quantity to a solution of an another reactant while monitoring the equilibrium concentrations. This allows one to determine the concentration of the second reactant. The equation for the reaction of a generic weak acid HA with a strong base is
HA(aq)+OH?(aq)?A?(aq)+H3O+(aq)
A certain weak acid, HA, with a Ka value of 5.61�10?6, is titrated with NaOH.
Part A:
A solution is made by titrating 9.00mmol (millimoles) of HA and 3.00mmol of the strong base. What is the resulting pH?
Part B:
More strong base is added until the equivalence point is reached. What is the pH of this solution at the equivalence point if the total volume is 45.0mL ?
