Question

Part A

For 500.0 mL of pure water, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.010 mol of HCl.

Express your answers using two decimal places separated by a comma.

pH initial, pH final =

Part B

For 500.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.155 M in HC2H3O2 and 0.135 M in NaC2H3O2, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.010 mol of HCl.

Express your answers using two decimal places separated by a comma.

pH initial, pH final=

Part C

For 500.0 mL of a buffer solution that is 0.180 M in CH3CH2NH2 and 0.165 M in CH3CH2NH3Cl, calculate the initial pH and the final pH after adding 0.010 mol ofHCl.

Express your answers using two decimal places separated by a comma.

pH initial, pH final=

Explanation / Answer

part A :

for pure water pH = 7

initial pH = 7

molarity of HCl = 0.01 / 0.5 = 0.02 M

pH = -log [H+] = -log 0.02 = 1.7

pH final = 1.7

pH initial, pH final = 7.00 , 1.70

b)

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

= 4.74 + log [0.135 / 0.155]

= 4.68

pH = pKa + log [salt - C / acid+C]

= 4.74 + log [0.135 - 0.02 / 0.155 + 0.02]

= 4.56

pH initial, pH final= 4.68 , 4.56

c)

pOH = pKb + log [salt / base]

= 3.2 + log [0.165 / 0.180]

= 3.16

pH = 10.84

pOH = pKb + log [salt + C/ base - C]

= 3.2 + log [0.165 + 0.02 / 0.180 - 0.02]

= 3.26

pH = 10.74

pH initial, pH final= 10.84 , 10.74
