50 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH is being titrated against 0.1 M NaOH. When 25 mL of NaOH has been added, the pH of the solution will be _____________ ×\times 10 −- 2. (Nearest integer)

(Given : pKa (CH3COOH) = 4.76)

log 2 = 0.30

log 3 = 0.48

log 5 = 0.69

log 7 = 0.84

log 11 = 1.04

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

CH3COOH + NaOH →\to CH3COONa + H2O

After adding 25 ml of NaOH volume of mixture = 50 + 25 = 75 ml

Initially,

Number of millimole of NaOH = 25 ×\times 0.1 = 2.5 mm

Number of millimole of CH3COOH = 50 ×\times 0.1 = 5 mm

After nutrilisation,

Millimole of NaOH = 0

Millimole of CH3COOH = 5 −- 2.5 = 2.5 mm

Millimole of CH3COONa = 2.5

After nutrilisation,

Concentration of CH3COOH = [CH3COOH]=5−2.575=130[C{H_3}COOH] = {{5 - 2.5} \over {75}} = {1 \over {30}}

Concentration of CH3COONa = [CH3COONa]=2.575=130[C{H_3}COONa] = {{ 2.5} \over {75}} = {1 \over {30}}

PH=PKa+log⁡[CH3COONa][CH3COOH]{P^H} = {P^{Ka}} + \log {{[C{H_3}COONa]} \over {[C{H_3}COOH]}}

=4.76+log⁡130130= 4.76 + \log {{{1 \over {30}}} \over {{1 \over {30}}}}

=4.76+log⁡(1)= 4.76 + \log (1)

=4.76+0= 4.76 + 0

=4.76= 4.76

=4.76×10−2= 4.76 \times {10^{ - 2}}
