Question

HOW DO YOU SOLVE PART 3 I KEPT GETTING IT WRONG

The next three (3) problems deal with the titration of 361 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid (H2CO3) (Ka1 = 4.3 x 10-7, Ka2 = 5.6 x 10-11) with 1.9 M NaOH.


What is the pH of the solution at the 2nd equivalence point? 11.88



What will the pH of the solution be when 0.1266 L of 1.9 M NaOH are added to the 361 mL of 0.501 M carbonic acid? 9.944



How many mL of the 1.9 M NaOH are needed to raise the pH of the carbonic acid solution to a pH of 5.935?

You are correct.

Explanation / Answer

H2CO3 millimoles = 361 x 0.501 = 181

millimoles of NaOH = 1.9 V

pKa1 = -log 4.3 x 10-7

pKa1 = 6.37

H2CO3 +   NaOH ------------------------> NaHCO3 + H2O

181            1.9 V                                         0          0 ---------------> I

181-1.9V         0                                        1.9V       1.9V -------------->E

pH = pKa1 + log [NaHCO3 / H2CO3]

5.935 = 6.366 + log (1.9 V / 181-1.9V)

(1.9 V / 181-1.9V) = 0.371

1.9 V = 67.09 - 0.7049 V

2.605 V = 67.09

V = 25.8 mL

volume of NaOH = 25.8 mL
