b. Calculate the pH after 15.0 mL of titrant have been added

c. Calculate the pH after 17.0 mL of titrant have been added

Solutions

Expert Solution

millimoles of acid = 35 x 0.15 = 5.25

pKa = - log Ka = - log [9.33 x 10^-6] = 5.03

a) millimoles of KOH added = 8.0 x 0.35 = 2.8

5.25 - 2.8 = 2.45 millimoles acid left

2.8 millimoles salt formed.

[acid] = 2.45 / (35+8) = 0.057 M

[salt] = 2.8 / 35+8 = 0.065 M

now mixture of acid and salt act as acidic buffer

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

pH = 5.03 + log [0.065] / [0.057]

pH = 5.09

b) millimoles of KOH added = 15 x 0.35 = 5.25

all acid convert to salt

[salt] = 5.25 / 15 + 35 = 0.105 M

pH = 1/2 [pKw + pKa + logC]

pH = 1/2 [14 + 5.03 + log 0.105]

pH = 9.02

c) millimoles of KOH added = 17 x 0.35 = 5.95

5.95 - 5.25 = 0.7 millimoles KOH left

[KOH] = 0.7/35 + 17 = 0.0135 M

pOH = - log [OH^-]

pOH = - log [0.0135]

pOH = 1.87

pH = 14 - 1.87

pH = 12.13
