A solution of 100.0 mL of 1.00 M malonic acid (H2A) was titrated with 1.00 M NaOH. K1 = 1.49 x 10-2, K2 = 2.03 x 10-6. What is the pH after 50.00 mL of NaOH has been added?
no of moles of H2A = molarity * volume in L
= 1*0.1 = 0.1moles
no of moles of NaOH = molarity * volume in L
= 1*0.05 = 0.05 moles
H2A (aq) + NaOH(aq) --------------> NaHA(aq) + H2O
I 0.1 0.05 0
C -0.05 -0.05 0.05
E 0.05 0 0.05
Pka = -logKa
= -log1.49*10^-2
= 1.8268
PH = PKa + log[NaHA]/[H2A]
= 1.8268 + log0.05/0.05
= 1.8268 + log1
= 1.8268 >>>>answer
