Explanation / Answer

a)

Write the first ionisation reaction as shown below

H2A + NaOH -----> HA- + H2O

moles of weak acid, H2A = 25.00 mL*0.070 M = 1.75*10^(-3)mol

At equivalent point moles of acid is equal to moles of base.

Volume of NaOH = moles of weak acid/0.10 M NaOH

= 1.75*10^(-3)mol / 0.10 M NaOH

= 17.5 mL

b)

Write the second ionisation reaction as shown below

HA- + NaOH -----> A2- + H2O

moles of weak acid, HA- = 1.75*10^(-3)mol

At equivalent point moles of acid is equal to moles of base.

Volume of NaOH = moles of weak acid/0.10 M NaOH

= 1.75*10^(-3)mol / 0.10 M NaOH

= 17.5 mL

Therefore, the volume of naoh at second equivalent point is double the volume at first equivalent point.

c) Total volume, V1 + V2

= 17.5 mL + 17.5 mL

= 35 mL
