Explanation / Answer
H3PO3 millimoles = 50 x 1.5 = 75
a) Before any addition of KOH :
H3PO3 ---------------------> H+ + H2PO3-
1.5 0 0
1.5- x x x
Ka1 = [H+][H2PO3-] / [H3PO3]
0.05 = x^2 / 1.5 - x
x = 0.25
[H+] = 0.25 M
pH = -log [H+] = -log [0.25]
= 0.6
pH = 0.6
b) after addition of 25.0 mL KOH
it is first equivaelce point
pH = pKa1 = 1.30
pH = 1.30
c) addition of 50.0 mL KOH
it is first equivalence point
pH = 1/2 (pKa1 + pKa2)
pH =1/2 (1.30 + 6.70)
pH = 4.0
3) 75.0 mL KOH
it is seond half equivalece point
pH = pKa2
pH = 6.70
4) 100.0 mL KOH
it is second equivalece point
HPO3^-2 millimoles = 100 x 1.5 = 150
HPO3^-2 molarity = 150 / (50 +100) = 1.0 M
HPO3^-2 + H2O ------------------> H2PO4- + OH-
1 -x x x
Kb2 = x^2 / 1-x
5.01 x 10^-8 = x^2 / 1.0-x
x^2 + 5.01 x 10^-8x - 5.01 x 10^-8 = 0
x = 2.24 x 10^-4
[OH-] = 2.24 x 10^-4 M
pOH = -log[OH-] = -log (2.24 x 10^-4 )
pOH = 3.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 10.35
2)
dibasic base = pKb1 = 2.10
pKb2 = 7.80
millimoles of base = 50 x 0.6 = 30
(a) before addition of any HCl
pOH = 1/2 [pKb1- logC]
pOH = 1/2 [pKb1 - log 0.6]
= 1/2 (2.10 - log 0.6)
= 1.16
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
= 12.84
pH = 12.84
(b) after addition of 25.0 mL of HCl
millimoles of HCl = 15 x 0.5 = 12.5
it is half equivalence point. so
pOH = pKb1
pOH = 2.10
pH = 11.9
(c) after addition of 50.0 mL of HCl
millimoles of HCl = 25
it is equivalence point . at equivalence point
pOH = (pKb1 + pKb2 )/ 2
= 2.10 + 7.80 / 2
= 4.95
pH = 9.05
(d) after addition of 75.0 mL of HCl
it is second half equivalence point . so
pOH = pKb2
pOH = 7.80
pH = 6.2
(e) after addition of 100.0 mL of HCl
millimoles of HCl = 100 x 0.6 = 60
it is second equivalence point.here it is only BH2+ remains.so its concentration
BH2+ millimoles = 60
BH2+ concentration = 60 / total volume
= 60 / (100 + 50)
= 0.4 M
BH2+ + H2O ------------------> BH+ + H3O+
0.4 0 0
0.4 - x x x
Ka2 = x^2 / (0.33 -x)
6.31 x 10^-7 = x^2 / (0.4 -x)
x = 5.0 x 10^-4
[H3O+] = x = 5.0 x 10^-4 M
pH = -log[H3O+] = -log (5.0 x 10^-4)
= 3.3
pH = 3.3
