You wish to titrate a 0.147 M solution of HCN (pKa = 9.26) with a 0.163 M solution of NaOH. Ultimately, you add 117.4 mL of the NaOH solution to the 47.4 mL of HCN solution. What is the pH of the resulting solution?
Titration
moles of HCN = 0.147 M x 47.4 ml
= 6.9678 mmol
moles of NaOH = 0.163 M x 117.4 ml
= 19.1362 mmol
excess NaOH = 12.1684 mmol/164,8 ml
= 0.074 M
pOH = -log[OH-]
= 1.132
pH = 14 - pOH = 12.868
