(c) At the equivalence point

(d) After adding 35.9 mL of sodium hydroxide

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS!

Explanation / Answer

HBr = 13.4ml of 0.114M

number of moles of HBr = 0.114Mx0.0134L=0.0015276 moles

a) Before the addition of NaOH

HBr is a strong acid. So the Concentration of H+ is equal to Acid

[H+] = 0.114M

-log[H+]= -log[0.114]

PH= 0.943

b) afterthe addition of 19.1mL of NaOH

Concentration of NaOH= 4.00x10^-2M=0.04M

number of moles of NaOH= 0.04Mx0.0191L= 0.000764 moles

number of moles of Acid is greaterthan the Base

SO the resultant concentration of solution is equal to H+

Remaining number of moles H+ = 0.0015276 - 0.000764=0.0007636 moles

Total volume= 13.4+ 19.1=32.5 ml = 0.0325 L

Concentration of H+ = number of moles/volume in L = 0.0007636/0.0325 = 0.0235 M

[H+] = 0.0235M

-log[H+] = -log( 0.0235)

PH=1.628 = 1.63

PH= 1.63

C) at equivilent point PH= 7

d)after addition of 45.8 ml of NaOH

number o f moles of NaOH = 0.04Mx0.0458L= 0.001832 moles

number of moles of Base is greaterthan acis.

So the concentration of resultant solution is equal to OH-

remaining number of moles of OH- = 0.001832 - 0.0015276=0.0003044 moles

Total volume = 13.4+45.8 = 59.2ml = 0.0592L

[OH-] = 0.0003044/0.0592=0.00514M

[OH-] = 0.00514M

-log[OH-] = -log( 0.00514)

POH= 2.289

PH+POH= 14

PH= 14-POH

PH= 14- 2.289

PH=11.711

PH= 11.7

The second problem is also similar manner.
