Answer:
12.6.
Explanation:
- We should calculate the no. of millimoles of KOH and HCl:
no. of millimoles of KOH = (MV)KOH = (0.183 M)(45.0 mL) = 8.235 mmol.
no. of millimoles of HCl = (MV)HCl = (0.145 M)(35.0 mL) = 5.075 mmol.
- It is clear that the no. of millimoles of KOH is higher than that of HCl:
So,
[OH⁻] = [(no. of millimoles of KOH) - (no. of millimoles of HCl)] / (V total) = (8.235 mmol - 5.075 mmol) / (80.0 mL) = 0.395 M.
∵ pOH = -log[OH⁻]
∴ pOH = -log(0.395 M) = 1.4.
∵ pH + pOH = 14.
∴ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.4 = 12.6.
