A buffer containing 0.2000 m of acid, ha, and 0.1500 m of its conjugate base, a−, has a ph of 3.35. what is the ph after 0.0015 mol of naoh is added to 0.5000 l of this solution?

Sagot :

After 0.0015 mol of NAOH is added to 0.5000 l of this solution, the pH is 3.37.

Steps

First, modify the Henderson-Hassle-batch equation to find the acid's pka.

[tex]pH=pka + log\frac{[A]}{[HA]}[/tex]

[tex]pka = pH-log\frac{[A]}{[HA]}[/tex]

[tex]=3.35- log \frac{[0.1500]}{[ 0.2000 ]}[/tex]

[tex]pka =3.47[/tex]

Molarity of the added NaOH.

[tex]M=\frac{mol}{L}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.0015 mol}{ 0.5000L}[/tex]

= 0.003 M

In water, NaOH will dissociate

[tex]NaOH- > Na^{+} + OH^{-}[/tex]

strong base OH will react with HA

HA+ OH --> [tex]H_{2} O[/tex] + A

the reaction also produced A. as, all OH are consumed in the reaction

HA will be decreased by 0.003 M and A will be increased by 0.003 M.

[tex]HA= 0.2000-0.003 \\= 0.1970[/tex]

[tex]A=0.1500+0.003=0.1530 M[/tex]

solving new pH using pka and the new values of [HA] and [A]

[tex]pH=pka + log\frac{[A]}{[HA]}[/tex]

[tex]=3.35 + log\frac{[0.1530]}{[0.1970]}[/tex]

pH=3.37 is the ph after 0.0015 mol of naoh is added to 0.5000 l of this solution
