1. A solution is prepared by adding 40.00mL of 0.125M Ba(OH)2 (aq) to 12.50mL of 0.350M HNO3(aq). Calculate the pH and pOH of the overall mixture at 298K.
normality of Ba(OH)2 = acidity * molarity
= 2*0.125 = 0.25 N
nofmality of HNO3 = basicity * molarity
= 1*0.35 = 0.35 N
Ba(OH)2 NHO3
NB = 0.25N NA = 0.35N
VB = 40ml NA = 12.5ml
N = NBVB-NAVA/VA+VB
= 0.25*40-0.35*12.5/40+12.5 = 5.625/52.5 = 0.107N
N = [OH-] = 0.107N
POH = -log[OH-]
= -log0.107 = 0.9706
PH = 14-POH
= 14-0.9706 = 13.0294
