Question

Calculate the pH’s of the following: (a) the solution formed by mixing 20.0 mL of a 0.30M HCl solution with 12 mL of a 0.25 M NaOH. (b) the solution formed by mixing 18.0 mL of a 0.46M HC6H7O6 solution with 10.0 mL of a 0.35M NaOH (Ka for HC6H7O6 = 8.0x10 –5 ) (c) the solution formed by mixing 15.0 mL of a 0.47M HF with 20.0 mL of a 0.20M KOH solution (Ka for HF = 7.1x10 –4 ) (d) the solution formed by mixing 30.0 mL of a 0.20 M HCHO2 solution with 22.0 mL of a 0.40 M KOH solution (Ka for HCHO2 = 1.7x10 –4 ) (e) the solution formed by dissolving 2.85 g of KF in 120 mL of a 0.30 M HF solution (Ka for HF = 7.1x10 –4 ) (f) the end point of the titration of 58.0 mL of a 0.48 M HCHO2 with 0.40 M KOH.

Explanation / Answer

HCl                                                       NaOH

MA = 0.3M                                        MB = 0.25M

VA   = 20ml                                          VB = 12ml

M    =        MAVA-MBVB/VA+ VB

           =      0.3*20-0.25*12/20+12   = 3/32   = 0.09375M

M   =   [H+]   = 0.09375M

PH   = -log[H+]

       = -log0.09375   = 1.028

b.

no of moles of HC6H7O6 = molarity * volume in L

                                         = 0.46*0.018 = 0.00828moles

no of moles of NaOH     = molarity * volume in L

                                     = 0.35*0.01 = 0.0035moles

Pka   = -logKa

        = -log8*10^-5

       = 4.0969

          HC6H7O6 + NaOH -----------> NaC6H7O6 + H2O

I 0.00828 0.0035             0             

C            -0.0035   -0.0035         0.0035

E    0.00478      0 0.0035

PH = Pka + log[ NaC6H7O6]/[ HC6H7O6]

   = 4.0696 + log0.0035/0.00478

                 = 4.0696-0.1353   = 3.9353
