a.You have 40.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of HClO, with a Ka of 3.0 x 10-8. b. What is the pH of the solution after the addition of 30.0 mL of 0.200 M NaOH?
millimoles of HClO = 40 x 0.1 = 4
millimoles of NaOH = 30 x 0.2 = 6
HClO + NaOH ----------------------> NaClO + H2O
4 6 0 0 --------------------> initial
0 2 4 4 ------------------> after reaction
strong base NaOH remained in the solution .
so [OH] = millimoles / total volume
= 2 / (40 +30)
= 0.0286 M
pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (0.0286)
pOH = 1.54
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 12.46
