Q.

50ml of a weak monoprotic acid was titrated with 0.1M solution of NaOH. If pH of the solution after adding 50 ml and 75 ml of base is 4.699 and 5 then calculate the value x+y where: x=pKa of the weak acid; y=pH of the solution when 7.5 millimoles of HCl are added in the solution at the equivalence point without changing volume.[Given: log2=0.301]

Detailed Solution

 after adding of NaOH to weak monoprotic acid medium i.e NaOH added is quite lesser After addition of 50 ml NaoH 0.1M
HA+NaOHNaA+H2O(50 ml,×M)(50ml,0.1)

Left moles in solution (50x-5)

pH=pKa+log[A][HA]4.699=pKa+log(550x5)....(i)

After adding of 75 ml NaOH 0.1M
Left millimoles of HA=50x-7.5
Millimoles of NaA formed=7.5
pH=pKa+log[A][HA]5=pKa+log(7.550x75)...(ii)

On subtracting (ii) – (i), 0.3010=log(7.550x7.5(50x5)5)=log2

On subtracting x=0.3

NaA+               HClNaCl+HA

15 Millimioles 7.5 Millimoles

pH=pKa+log[A][HA]=pKa+log7.57.5pH=pKa=5cd=05
