Question

1. In the titration of 50.00 mL of 0.100 M HCI with 0.100 M NaOH, calculate the pH after (a) 0.00 ml, (b) 10.00 ml (c) 25.00 ml, and (d) 50.00 ml of NaOH have been added (at the equivalent point),. Choose a suitable indicator for this titration In the titration of 50.00 mL of 0.100 M HF with 0.100 M NaOH, calculate the pH after (a) 0.00 ml, (b) 10.00 ml(buffer region) (c) 25.00 ml, of NaOH have been added (1/2 the equivalent point) (d) 50.00 ml of NaOH have been added(equivalent point). Choose a suitable indicator for this titration. (Ka = 6.8 x 10-4 ) 2.

Explanation / Answer

(1)

(a)

After 0 mL base has been added:

pH = -log(0.1) = 1

(b)

After 10 mL base is added:

Moles of acid left = (0.05*0.1 - 0.01*0.1) = 0.004

Total volume = 60 mL

So, [H+] = 0.004/0.06 = 0.067

So,

pH = -log(0.067) = 1.174

(c)

After 25 mL base is added:

Moles of acid left = (0.05*0.1 - 0.025*0.1) = 0.0025

Total volume = 75 mL

So, [H+] = 0.0025/0.075 = 0.033

So,

pH = -log(0.033) = 1.48

(d)

After 50 mL base is added:

Moles of acid left = (0.05*0.1 - 0.05*0.1) = 0

So at this point the pH is equal to 7, because this is the equivalence point.

Hope this helps !
