Question

1)Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and the pH of the solution that results when 10.6 mL of 0.21 M acetic acid, is mixed with 6.9 mL of 0.060 M NaOH.

Hydronium ion concentration =?M

pH =

2)A buffer solution with a pH of 12.00 consists of Na3PO4 and Na2HPO4. The volume of solution is 200.0 mL. If the concentration of Na3PO4 is 0.300 M, what mass of Na2HPO4 is present?

2B) A buffer solution with a pH of 12.00 consists of Na3PO4 and Na2HPO4. The volume of solution is 200.0 mL. The concentration of Na3PO4 is 0.300 M.What mass of Na3PO4 is required to change the pH to 12.25?Ka = 3.6 × 10-13

Explanation / Answer

1) Initial acetic acid moles = M x V = 0.21 x ( 10.6/1000) = 0.002226

NaOH moles = 0.06 x 6.9/1000 =0.000414

acetic acid + NaOH ---> sodium actetate + H2O

hence acteic acid moles after reactiong with NaoH = 0.002226-0.000414 = 0.001812

sodium acetate moles = 0.000414

totla vol = 10.6+6.9 = 17.5 ml = 0.0175 L

pH = pka + log [sodium acetate ] / [acetic acid]

pH = 4.745 + log ( 0.000414/0.0175) / ( 0.001812/0.0175)

= 4.1

2) pH = pka of HPO42-   + log [Na3PO4]/[Na2HPO4]

12 = 12.4437 + log (0.3) /[Na2HPO4]

[Na2HPO4] = 0.833

moles of Na2HPO4 M x V = 0.8333 x ( 200/1000) = 0.1667

Na2HPO4 mass = moles x molar mass of Na2HPO4 = 0.1667 x 141.96 = 23.66 g

B)   pH = pka + log [Na3PO4]/[NaH2PO4]

12.55 = 12.4437 + log [Na3PO4]/[NaH2PO4]    ( pka = -log Ka = -log ( 3.6x10^-13) = 12.4437)

[Na3PO4] = 0.783 [Na2HPO4]

Na3PO4 moles = 0.783 Na2HPO4 moles , let m be moles of Na3PO4 added

then initialy Na3PO4 moles = M x V = 0.3 x 0.2 = 0.06 , after some Na3PO4 addition moles = 0.06+m

hence 0.06 + m = 0.783 ( 0.1667)

m = 0.0705

Na3PO4 mass needed = moles x molar mas s= 0.0705 x 163.94 = 11.56 g
