Explanation / Answer

1) Perchloric acid HClO4 is stronga cid and dissociates to complete extent H+ and ClO4-

before Ba(OH)2 added we have only HClO4 , [H+] = 0.25

pH = -log [H+] = -log ( 0.25)

= 0.6

2) HClO4 moles = 0.25 x 0.025 = 0.00625 = H+ moles

Ba(OH)2 moles = 0.207 x 0.00755 = 0.001563 mol

OH- moles = 2 x Ba(OH)2 = 2 x 0.001563 = 0.00313 mol

H+ moles after getting neutralised by OH- = 0.00625-0.00313 = 0.00312

volume of solution = 25+7.55 = 32.55 ml = 0.03255 L

[H+] = ( moles / volume) = ( 0.00312 / 0.03255) = 0.096

pH = -log ( 0.096)  

= 1.02

3) at equivalence H+ and OH- moles are equal , hence pH = 7

4) Ba(OH)2 moles = 0.207 x 0.0189 = 0.0039

OH- moles = 0.0039 x 2 = 0.0078

OH- moles left after ggeting neutralised to some extent by H+ = 0.0078-0.00625 = 0.00155

solution volume = 25+18.9 = 43.9 ml = 0.0439 L

[OH-] = ( 0.00155 mol / 0.0439) = 0.0353

pOH = -log ( 0.0353) = 1.45

pH = 14-1.45 = 12.55
