    Acid/Base HW [23 

    marks]
    1a. [1 mark]
    A 25.0 c m3 solution of a weak monoprotic acid, HA(aq), is titrated with 0.155 mol d m−3
    sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq), and the following graph is obtained.

    Determine the pH at the equivalence point.


    9.5
    1b. [3 marks]
    Explain, using an equation, why the equivalence point is not at pH=7.
    HA is a weak acid with a strong base
    HA + NaOH  H2O + NaA
    1c. [2 marks]
    Calculate the concentration of the weak acid before the addition of any NaOH(aq).
    The reaction occurs in a 1:1 ratio
    Moles of NaOH used = 0.155 x 0.022 = 0.00341 = moles of HA reacted
    HA concentration = 0.00341/0.025 = 0.1364 mol dm-3
    1d. [3 marks]
    Estimate, using data from the graph, the dissociation constant, K a , of the weak acid, HA,
    showing your working.
    When half the acid has been neutralized the pH of the solution is the same as the K a of the
    acid. This happens at 11 cm3, where the pH is about 5.2
    Hence, Ka = 10-Ka = 6.31 * 10-6
    1e. [1 mark]
    Suggest an appropriate indicator for this titration.
    Phenolphthalein
    1f. [3 marks]
    Describe qualitatively the action of an acid-base indicator.
    In an acid the large numbers of H ions present shift the equilibrium to the left, so color A is
    seen. In an alkali, the large numbers of OH ions present react with H' ions and shift the
    equilibrium to the right, so color B is seen.
    1g. [2 marks]
    Explain what is meant by the term buffer solution.
    A buffer solution is one that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or alkali are
    added.
    1h. [3 marks]
    Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 50.0 c m3 of
    0.200 mol d m−3 C H 3 COOH (aq) and 50.0 c m3 of ,0.100 mol d m−3 NaOH (aq) showing your
    working.
    The amount of acid used is 0 200 x 0.05 = 0.01 moles. The amount of NaOH used is 0. 100 x
    0.05 = 0.005 moles. So, half the acid is neutralized, so the concentrations of CH 3COOH
    molecules and CH3COO- ions are equal
    Hence, Ka= [H+] [CH3COO-] / [CH3COOH]
    Ka= 4.76
    pH= 4.76

    1i. [2 marks]
    0.100 mol of ammonia, N H 3, was dissolved in water to make 1.00 d m3 of solution. This
    solution has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1.28 ×1 0−3 mol d m−3.
    Determine the pH of the solution.
    pOH = -log[OH]
    = 2.89
    pH = 14-2.89
    pH = 11.11
    1j. [3 marks]
    Calculate the base dissociation constant, K b , for ammonia.
    Kb= [NH4+] [OH-] / [NH3]
    Kb= 1.64 * 10-5
