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+NaOHCH3COONa+H2OCH_3COOH + NaOH → CH_3COONa + H_2O

at initially 50×0.1mmoles 25×0.1mmoles
at time t 2.5 m moles 0 2.5 m mol

pH=pKa+log(salt)(acid)pH=pK_a+log|\frac {(salt)}{(acid)}|

pH=4.76+log2.52.5pH=4.76+log|\frac {2.5}{2.5}|
pH=4.76pH = 4.76
pH=476×102pH = 476 \times 10^{-2}
Given that, the pH of the solution will be x×102.x × 10^{–2}.
Then, x=476x = 476

So, the answer is 476476.
