Question

Part e:Calcualate the pH at the equivalence point of the titration(50.00mL of acid and 37.21 mL of base). Show the neutralization reaction, the equilibrium expression for the weak base hydrolysis, the mass action express, state any assumptions used in your calculations, and show all of your work.

Explanation / Answer

(a) moles of base used = 0.2792 M x 37.21 ml = 10.39 mmol

initial molarity of acid solution = 10.39 mmol/50 ml = 0.2078 M

(b) moles base added = 0.2792 M x 9.30 ml = 2.5966 mmol

moles acid neutralized = 2.5966 mml

moles acid remained = 0.2078 M x 25 ml - 2.5966 = 2.5984 mmol

pH = pKa + log(base/acid)

5.320 = pKa + log(2.5966/2.5984)

pKa = 5.3203

pKa = -log[Ka]

Ka = 4.783 x 10^-6

(c) Initial molarity of acid (HA) = 0.2078 M

HA + H2O <==> A- + H3O+

let x amount has dissociated

Ka = [A-][H3O+]/[HA]

4.783 x 10^-6 = x^2/0.2078

x = [H3O+] = 9.97 x 10^-4 M

pH = -log[H3O+] = 3.00

(d) Kb = Kw/Ka

           = 1 x 10^-14/4.783 x 10^-6

           = 2.091 x 10^-9

(e) HA + B <==> BH+ + A-

molarity of A- formed at equivalence point = 0.2078 M x 50 ml/(50 + 37.21) ml = 0.12 M

A- + H2O <==> HA + OH-

let x amount has hydrolyzed

Kb = [HA][OH-]/[A-]

2.091 x 10^-9 = x^2/0.12

x = [OH-] = 1.58 x 10^-5 M

pOH = -log[OH-] = 4.80

pH = 14 - pOH = 9.20
