A25.0 ml sample of 0.100 m acetic acid is titrated with 0.125 m naoh at 25°c. what is the ph of the solution after 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 ml of the base have been added?

a)pH = 4.74

b) pH = 6.75

c) pH = 12.36

Explanation:

In titration of strong base with a weak acid, initially we get salt of the acid and base and due to presence of weak acid in the solution this results into formation of a buffer.  

On complete neutralization, the salt undergoes hydrolysis.

After complete neutralization, the solution becomes basic and the pH is due to presence of hydroxide ions.

a) on addition of 10.0 mL of NaOH

The initial moles of acetic acid present = molarity X volume = 0.1 X 0.025 =0.0025

The moles of NaOH added = molarity X volume = 0.125 X 0.01 =  0.00125

The moles of acid left after reaction with base = 0.0025 -0.00125 = 0.00125

the moles of salt formed = 0.00125

the pH of solution will be pH of the buffer formed [pKa of acetic acid =4.74]

b) Addition of 20.0 mL of NaOH

The initial moles of acetic acid present = molarity X volume = 0.1 X 0.025 =0.0025

The moles of NaOH added = molarity X volume = 0.125 X 0.02 =  0.0025

The moles of acid left after reaction with base = 0.0025 -0.0025 = 0

the moles of salt formed = 0.0025

The salt will undergo hydrolysis as:

The Kb  will be

[salt] = moles / total volume = 0.0025 / 25+20 = 5.56 X  10⁻⁶ M

Kb  = 5.56 X  10⁻¹⁰ M

therefore

5.56 X  10⁻¹⁰ M X 5.56 X  10⁻⁶ M = [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 5.56 X  10⁻⁸ M

pOH = 7.25

pH = 14 -7.25 = 6.75

c) on addition of 30 mL of NaOH 20 mL will be used for complete neutralization and rest 10 mL will be of NaOH only.

moles of NaOH left = molarity X volume = 0.125 X 10 mL = 0.00125

volume of solution = 30 + 25 = 55

the [NaOH] = moles / volume = 0.023 M

pOH = 1.64

pH = 12.36

s too much pool water may lead to chlorine poisoning. the concentration of chlorine in public drinking water is extremely low and not harmful to human health. sooo yeahh

explanation:

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
