A25.0 ml solution of 0.100 m ch3cooh is titrated with a 0.200 m koh solution. calculate the ph after the following additions of the koh solution:

(a) 0.0 ml,
(b) 5.0 ml,
(c) 10.0 ml,
(d) 12.5 ml,
(e) 15.0 ml

a) pH = 2.88

b) pH = 4.598

c) pH = 5.503

d) pH = 8.788

e) pH = 12.097

Explanation:

∴ Ka = 1.75 E-5 = [H3O+]*[CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]

a) 0.0 mL KOH:

mass balance:

⇒ C CH3COOH = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-] = 0.100 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] = [CH3COO-]

⇒ 1.75 E-5 = [H3O+]²/(0.100 - [H3O+])

⇒ [H3O+]² + 1.75 E-5[H3O+] - 1.75 E-6 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 1.314 E.3 M

∴ pH = - Log [H3O+]

⇒ pH = 2.88

b) 5.0 mL KOH:

∴ C CH3COOH = ((0.025)(0.100) - (5 E-3)(0.200))/(0.025+5 E-3)

⇒ C CH3COOH = 0.05 M

∴ C KOH = ((5 E-3)(0,200))/(0.025+5 E-3) = 0.033 M

mass balance:

⇒ C CH3COOH + C KOH = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-] = 0.05 + 0.033 = 0.083 M

charge balance:

⇒ [H3O+] + [K+] = [CH3COO-]

⇒ [CH3COO-] = [H3O+] + 0.033

⇒ 1.75 E-5 = ([H3O+]*([H3O+] + 0.033))/(0.083 - ([H3O+] + 0.033))

⇒ 1.75 E-3 = ([H3O+]² + 0.033[H3O+])/(0.05 - [H3O+])

⇒ 8.75 E-7 - 1.75 E-5[H3O+] = [H3O+]² + 0.033[H3O+]

⇒ [H3O+]² +0.03302[H3O+] - 8.75 E-7 = 0

⇒ [H3O+] = 2.523 E-5 M

⇒ pH = 4.598

equivalent point:

⇒ (0.100 M)*(0.025 L) = (0.200 M)( Vbase)

⇒ Vbase = 0.0125L = 12.5 mL

c) 10.0 mL KOH:

∴ C CH3COOH = 0.0143 M

∴ C KOH =  0.057 M

as in the previous point, starting from the mass and charge balances, we obtain:

⇒ [H3O+] = 3.1386 E-6 M

⇒ pH = 5.503

d) 12.5 mL KOH:

at the equivalence point, there is complete salt formation, then the pH is calculated through the salt:

∴ Kw/Ka = 1 E-14/1.75 E-5 = 5.714 E-10 = [CH3COOH]*[OH-]/[CH3COO-]

∴ [CH3COO-] = (0.025)(0.100))/(0.025+0.0125) = 0.066 M

mass balance:

⇒ 0.066 = [CH3COOH] + [CH3COO-](1)

charge balance:

⇒ [K+] = [OH-] + [CH3COO-] = 0.066 M(2)

∴ [K+] = C CH3COO- = 0.066 M

(1) = (2):

⇒ [OH-] = [CH3COOH](3)

⇒ 5.714 E-10 = [OH-]² / (0.066 - [OH-])

⇒ [OH-]² + 5.714 E-10[OH-] - 3.7712 E-11 = 0

⇒ [OH-] = 6.1408 e-6 m

⇒ pOH = 5.212

⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 8.788

d) 15.0 mL KOH:

after the equivalence point there is salt and excess base (OH-); ph is calculated from excess base:

⇒ C KOH = ((0.015)(0.200) - (0.025)(0.100)) / (0.025 + 0.015) = 0.0125 M

⇒ [OH-] ≅ C KOH = 0.0125 M

⇒ pOH = 1.903

⇒ pH = 12.097

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
