Answer:
a)4.51
b) 9.96
Explanation:
Given:
NaOH = 0.112M
H2S03 = 0.112 M
V = 60 ml
H2S03 pKa1= 1.857
pKa2 = 7.172
a) to calculate pH at first equivalence point, we calculate the pH between pKa1 and pKa2 as it is in between.
Therefore, the half points will also be the middle point.
Solving, we have:
pH = (½)* pKa1 + pKa2
pH = (½) * (1.857 + 7.172)
= 4.51
Thus, pH at first equivalence point is 4.51
b) pH at second equivalence point:
We already know there is a presence of SO3-2, and it ionizes to form
SO3-2 + H2O <>HSO3- + OH-
[HSO3-] = x = [OH-]
mmol of SO3-2 = MV
= 0.112 * 60 = 6.72
We need to find the V of NaOh,
V of NaOh = (2 * mmol)/M
= (2 * 6.72)/0.122
= 120ml
For total V in equivalence point, we have:
60ml + 120ml = 180ml
[S03-2] = 6.72/120
= 0.056 M
Substituting for values gotten in the equation
We noe have:
=4.04
pH = 14- pOH
= 14 - 4.04
= 9.96
The pH at second equivalence point is 9.96
