A.What is the pH of 0.010 M of Na2CO3 solution? (Ka1 and Ka2 of H2CO3= 4.3 x 10-7 and 4.8 x 10^-11).
B.Calculate the values of pH when 40.0 mL of 0.0250M benzoic acid (HC7H5O2, Ka=6.3x10-5) is titrated with 10.0 mL of 0.050 M NaOH solution?
A)
CO3-2 + H2O -------------------> HCO3- + OH-
0.01 0 0
0.01-x x x
Kb1 = Kw / Ka2 = 10^-14 / 4.8 x 10^-11 = 2.08 x 10^-4
2.08 x 10^-4 = x^2 / 0.01 -x
x^2 + 2.08 x 10^-4 x - 2.08 x 10^-6 = 0
x = 1.34 x 10^-3
x = [OH-] = 1.34 x 10^-3 M
pOH = -log (1.34 x 10^-3)
pOH = 2.68
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 11.32
B)
millimoles of acid = 40 x 0.0250 = 1
millimoles of NaoH = 10 x 0.05 = 0.5
it is half equivalence point .
here pH = pKa
pKa = -log Ka
pKa = 4.20
pH = 4.20
