Question

(A) In a solution 15.0 mL of 4.00 M HCl is titrated with 0.750 M NaOH. How many milliliters of NaOH are required to reach the equivalent point and a pH of 7.00?

(b) In a solution 15.0 mL of 4.00 M HCl is titrated with 0.750 M NaOH. What is the pH when the volume of NaOH added is 0.20 mL less than the volume required to reach the equivalence point is.

(c) In a solution 15.0 mL of 4.00 M HCl is titrated with 0.750 M NaOH. The pH when the volume of NaOH added is 0.20 mL more than the volume required to reach the equivalence point is:

Explanation / Answer

Answer.

a.) We have,

For HCl, M1 = 4 M, V1 = 15 mL

For NaOH, M2 = 0.75 M, V2 = ?

Using the equation of moles equalization, we have

M1V1 = M2V2

15*4 = 0.75 * V2

V2 = 80 mL.

Hence, 80 milliliters of NaOH are required to reach the equivalent point and a pH of 7.00.

b.) Now,

Volume of NaOH (V2) = 80 - 0.2 = 79.8 mL

Therefore,

Moles of HCl = M1*V1 = 15*4 = 60 millimoles

Moles of NaOH = M2*V2 = 0.75*79.8 = 59.85 millimoles

Total Volume = V1 + V2 = 15 + 79.8 = 94.8 mL = 0.0948 L

Extra moles of HCl = moles of [H+] = 60-59.85 = 0.15 millimoles

Concentration of [H+] = 0.15 * 10-3 / 0.0948 =  0.00158227848 M

Hence,

pH = - log([H+]) = -log(0.00158227848) = 2.80071708.

c.)

Now,

Volume of NaOH (V2) = 80 + 0.2 = 80.2 mL

Therefore,

Moles of HCl = M1*V1 = 15*4 = 60 millimoles

Moles of NaOH = M2*V2 = 0.75*80.2 = 60.15 millimoles

Total Volume = V1 + V2 = 15 + 80.2 = 95.2 mL = 0.0952 L

Extra moles of NaOH = moles of [OH-] = 60.15-60 = 0.15 millimoles

Concentration of [H+] = 0.15 * 10-3 / 0.0952 =  0.00157563025 M

Hence,

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 + log([OH-]) = 14 + log(0.00157563025) = 11.1974543.
