Calculation of Original pH from Final pH after Titration A biochemist has 100 mL of a 0.10 M solution of a weak acid with a pKa

of 6.3. She adds 6.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl, which changes the pH to 5.7. What was the pH of the original solution?

Answer:

6.9

Explanation:

A weak acid dissociates in an equilibrium reaction, thus, it is in equilibrium with its conjugate base:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The equilibrium constant (Ka) can be calculated, where Ka = [H⁺]*[A⁻]/[HA]. Using the -log form, we can also have pKa = -logKa. By the Handerson-Halsebach (HH) equation, the relation between pH and pKa is:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

So, when pH = 5.7, for this acid, the ratio of [acid]/[base] ([HA]/[A-]) is:

5.7 = 6.3 + log[A⁻]/[HA]

log[A⁻]/[HA] = -0.6

log[HA]/[A⁻] = 0.6

[HA]/[A⁻] = 10^{0.6}

[HA]/[A⁻] = 3.98 = 4.0

If the ratio of acid and base is 4 to 1, it means that 80%(4/5) of the acid is protonated after the addition of the HCl.

The initial number of moles of the weak acid was: 100 mL * 0.10 M = 10 mmol, so after the addition of HCl, 8 mmol is in the acid form (80% of 10). It was added 6.0 mmol of HCl (6.0 mL*1.0M). Thus, 6.0 mmol of H+ was added and reacted with the conjugate base of the weak acid.

For the mass conservation, the initial amount of the protonated weak acid must be 2.0 mmol (8 - 6), and the number of moles of the conjugate base was 8.0 mmol. Using the HH equation:

pH = 6.3 + log(8/2)

pH = 6.3 + 0.6

pH = 6.9

Answer:

Option B. Decreasing the temperature of the solvent

Explanation:

Solubility is mostly enhanced by increasing the temperature of the solvent or solution. This means that am increase in temperature will increase the solubility and decreasing the temperature will decrease the solubility.

What volume of a 1.0 M HCl is required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of a 1.0 M KOH?
kirza4 [7]
The question above can be solved by using this equation: 
CAVA =CBVB
Where:
CA =Concentration of acid = 1.0 M
VA = Volume of acid = ?
CB = Concentration of base = 1.0 M
VB = Volume of base = 25 ml
VA = CBVB / CA
VA = [1 * 25] / 1 = 25 / 1 = 25
VA = 25 ml
Therefore, the volume of acid that is required to completely neutralize the base is 25 ml.<span />
