Explanation / Answer

a) HClO(aq) + H2O(l) <--------> H3O+(aq) + ClO-(aq)

Ka = [ H3O+ ][ClO-]/[HClO]=2.95×10^-8

x^2/(0.140 - x) = 2.95×10^-8

assume 0.140 - x = 0.140

x^2 = 4.13 × 10^-9

x = 6.42 × 10^-5

[ H3O+ ] = 6.42 ×10^-5

pH = - log(6.42×10^-5)

= 4.19

b) 25ml is half equivalene point

at half equivalence point, pH = pKa

pKa of HClO = 7.53

Therefore,

pH = 7.53

c) No of mole of HClO = (0.140mol/1000ml)×50ml = 0.0070

No of mole of KOH added = (0.140mol/1000ml)×30ml = 0.0042

OH + HClO -------> H2O + ClO-

0.0042mole of KOH react with 0.0042 mole of HClO to produce 0.0042 mole of ClO-

After addition

No of mole of HClO = 0.0070 - 0.0042 = 0.0028

No of mole of ClO- = 0.0042

total volume = 80ml

[HClO] = (0.0028mol/80ml)×1000ml = 0.0350M

[ClO-] = (0.0042mol/80ml) ×1000ml = 0.0525M

pH = pKa + log ( [ A- ]/[ HA]

= 7.53 + log ( 0.0525M/0.0350)

= 7.53 + 0.18

= 7.71

d) 50ml is equivalence point

at equivslence point

No of mole of ClO- formed = 0.0070

Volume = 100ml

[ ClO- ] =( 0.0070mol/100ml)×1000ml = 0.070M

ClO- (aq) + H2O(l) <------> HClO(aq) + OH- (aq)

Kb = [ HClO] [ OH- ]/[ClO- ] = 3.39×10^-7

x^2/0.070 = 3.39×10^-7

x = 1.54×10^-4

[OH- ] = 1.54×10^-4M

pOH = - log(1.54×10^-4)

= 3.81

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - 3.81 = 10.19

e) Out of 60ml ,50ml of KOH is consumed for neutralization of HClO

excess KOH added =10ml

No of mole of KOH =( 0.140mol/1000ml)×10ml = 0.0014mol

Total volume = 110ml

[ OH- ] = (0.0014mol/110ml)×1000ml = 0.0127M

pOH = -log(0.0127)

=1.90

pH = 14 - 1.90

= 12.10
