Question

1) A 15.1 mL sample of a 0.446 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution is titrated with a 0.397 M aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. What is the pH at the start of the titration, before any potassium hydroxide has been added?


pH =

2) What is the pH at the equivalence point in the titration of a 22.5 mL sample of a 0.304 M aqueous hydrocyanic acid solution with a 0.327 M aqueous potassium hydroxide solution?

pH =

3) A 43.3 mL sample of a 0.477 M aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution is titrated with a 0.476 M aqueous barium hydroxide solution. What is the pH after 12.0 mL of base have been added?

pH =

Explanation / Answer

1)

HClO + KOH = H2O + KClO

initially

HClO = H+ and ClO-

Ka = [H+][ClO-]/[HClO]

Ka = 3.5*10^-8

then

[H+]= [ClO-]= x

[HClO] = 0.446-x

substitute

(3.5*10^-8) = (x*x/(0.446-x)

x = 1.24*10^-4

[H+] = 1.24*10^-4

pH = -log(1.24*10^-4) = 3.906
