Chemistry Question on Applications Of Equilibrium Constants
50 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH is being titrated against 0.1 M NaOH. When 25 mL of NaOH has been added, the pH of the solution will be ____ × 10–2. (Nearest integer)
(Given : pKa (CH3COOH) = 4.76)
log 2 = 0.30
log 3 = 0.48
log 5 = 0.69
log 7 = 0.84
log 11 = 1.04
Answer
CH3COOH+NaOH→CH3COONa+H2O
at initially 50×0.1mmoles 25×0.1mmoles
at time t 2.5 m moles 0 2.5 m mol
pH=pKa+log∣(acid)(salt)∣
pH=4.76+log∣2.52.5∣
pH=4.76
pH=476×10−2
Given that, the pH of the solution will be x×10–2.
Then, x=476
So, the answer is 476.
