Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 20 mL of 0.2M HCOOH is mixed with 25mL of 0.2M NaOH solution.(post-equivalence point)

The pH of the solution : 12

Reaction

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

mol HCOOH =

mol NaOH =

Mol NaOH>mol HCOOH ⇒ at the end of the reaction there will be a strong base remains from mol NaOH, so that the pH is determined from [OH⁻]

ICE method :

HCOOH    +     NaOH   ⇒     HCOONa   +   H₂O

4                          5

4                          4                     4                   4

0                          1                      1                    1

Concentration of [OH⁻] from NaOH :

pOH=-log[OH⁻]

pOH=-log 10⁻²=2

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-2=12

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.

explanation:

lol for the pointsss
