Explanation / Answer

dibasic base = pKb1 = 2.10

pKb2 = 7.46

millimoles of base = 50 x 0.5 = 25

(a) before addition of any HCl

pOH = 1/2 [pKb1- logC]

pOH = 1/2 [pKb1 - log 0.5]

          = 1/2 (2.10 - log 0.5)

          = 1.2

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

      = 12.8

pH = 12.8

(b) after addition of 25.0 mL of HCl

millimoles of HCl = 15 x 0.5 = 12.5

it is half equivalence point. so

pOH = pKb1

pOH = 2.10

pH = 11.9

(c) after addition of 50.0 mL of HCl

millimoles of HCl = 25

it is equivalence point . at equivalence point

pOH = (pKb1 + pKb2 )/ 2

         = 2.10 + 7.46 / 2

         = 4.78

pH = 9.22
(d) after addition of 75.0 mL of HCl

moles of HCl = 75 x 0.5 = 37.5

it is second half equivalence point . so

pOH = pKb2

pOH = 7.46

pH = 6.54

(e) after addition of 100.0 mL of HCl

millimoles of HCl = 100 x 0.5 = 50

it is second equivalence point.here it is only BH2+ remains.so its concentration

BH2+ millimoles = 50

BH2+ concentration = 50 / total volume

                                 = 50 / (100 + 50)

                                 = 0.33 M

BH2+ + H2O ------------------> BH+   + H3O+

0.33                                              0             0

0.33 - x                                         x              x

Ka2 = x^2 / (0.33 -x)

2.88 x 10^-7 = x^2 / (0.33 -x)

x = 3.08 x 10^-4

[H3O+] = x = 3.08 x 10^-4 M

pH = -log[H3O+] = -log (3.08 x 10^-4)

       = 3.51

pH = 3.51
