In a 500-mL volumetric flask, 0.050 mole of formic acid (Ka=1.82 x 10-4) and 0.05 mole of NaOh are placed together and diluted to exactly 500.0 mL. What is the pH of the resulting solution?

Solutions

Expert Solution

moles of HCOOH = 0.050 mol

volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

concentration of formic acid = 0.050 / 0.500 = 0.10 M

concentration of NaOH = 0.05 / 0.500 = 0.10 M

HCOOH    +   NaOH     ---------------> HCOONa +    H2O

0.10               0.10                                  0                 0

    0                   0                                   0.10

concentration of HCOONa = 0.10 M

pH = 7 + 1/2 (pKa + log C)

    = 7 + 1/2 (3.74 + log 0.10)

pH = 8.37
