Calculate pH:

25mL of .2 M CH3OOH + 10 mL of .2 M NaOH? Ka= 1.8E-5

Step-by-step procedure please! I have to do 20 of these!

  1. Moles of acid:

    0.025L * 0.2mole/L = 0.005 moles

    Moles of NaOH:

    0.01L * 0.2mole/L = 0.002moles

    Concentration of acid:

    0.005mol/0.030L = 0.17M

    Concentration of NaOH:

    0.002mol/0.030L = 0.07

    Ka= [CH3COO-][H+]/ [CH3OOH]

    1.8E-5 = X^2/0.17

    X= 0.00175M = [H+]

    *NaOH dissociates completely there for [NaOH] = [Na+] = [OH-] = 0.07M

    In solution:

    [OH-] - [H+] =  0.068[OH-]

    pOH = -log(0.068) = 1.17

    pH = 14 - pOH = 12.83


  2. Given that Ka is 1.8e-5, all u have to do i

    -log(Ka) = -log(1.8e-5) =  4.74472749...

    So the pH is around 4.74
