HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so

Chemistry

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.

Answer:

T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C

Explanation:

The contact between the sheet of gold and the sheet of iron allows a heat transfer until thermal equilibrium is done, which means that both sheets have the same temperature:

-Q_{iron} = Q_{gold}

-(0.008\,kg)\cdot (452\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (0.0195\,kg)\cdot (129\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-10.5\,^{\textdegree}C)

-(3.616\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (2.515\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-10.5^{\textdegree}C)

-1.438\cdot (T - 54.4^{\textdegree}C) = T-10.5^{\textdegree}C

-1.438\cdot T +78.227^{\textdegree}C = T - 10.5^{\textdegree}C

2.438\cdot T = 88.727\,^{\textdegree}C

The final temperature is:

T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C
