Calculate the pH in titration of a weak acid: What is the pH in titration of formic acid (HCHO2, 0.200 M, 100.0 mL) after the ad

dition of 300.0 mL NaOH (0.120 M)? The Ka of formic acid is 1.799 x 10-4.

Answer:

pH = 12.61

Explanation:

First of all, we determine, the milimoles of base:

0.120 M = mmoles / 300 mL

mmoles = 300 mL . 0120 M = 36 mmoles

Now, we determine the milimoles of acid:

0.200 M = mmoles / 100 mL

mmoles = 100 mL . 0.200M = 20 mmoles

This is the neutralization:

HCOOH    +     OH⁻         ⇄        HCOO⁻     +    H₂O

20 mmol       36 mmol             20 mmol

                    16 mmol

We have an excess of OH⁻, the ones from the NaOH and the ones that formed the salt NaHCOO, because this salt has this hydrolisis:

NaHCOO  →  Na⁺  +  HCOO⁻

HCOO⁻  +  H₂O  ⇄   HCOOH  +  OH⁻   Kb →  Kw / Ka = 5.55×10⁻¹¹

These contribution of OH⁻ to the solution is insignificant because the Kb is very small

So:  [OH⁻] =  16 mmol / 400 mL →  0.04 M

- log  [OH⁻]  = pOH →  1.39

pH = 14 - pOH → 12.61
