For the titration of 25.00 ml of 0.150 m hcl with 0.250 m naoh, calculate:

(a) the ph when neutralization is 50% complete;

(b) the ph when 1.00 ml of naoh is added beyond the equivalence point.

1) Chemical reaction

HCl        +       NaOH      --->      NaCl + H2O

25.0 ml            
0.150 M            0.250M

2) 50% completion => 0.025 l * 0.150 M * (1/2) = 0.001875 mol HCl consumed and 0.001875 mol HCl in solution

0.001875 mol HCl => 0.001875 mol H(+)

Volume = Volume of HCl solution + Volumen of NaOH solution added

Volume of HCl solution = 0.0250 l

Volume of NaOH = n / M = 0.001875 mol / 0.250M = 0.0075 l

Total volume = 0.0250 l + 0.0075 l = 0.0325 l

[H+] = 0.001875 mol / 0.0325 l = 0.05769 M

pH = - log [H+] = - log (0.05769) = 1.23

1.23

3) Equivalence point

0.02500 l * 0.150 M = 0.250M * V

=> V = 0.02500 * 0.150 / 0.250 = 0.015 l

4) 1.00 ml NaOH added beyond the equivalence point

1.00 ml * 1 l / 1000 ml * 0.250 M = 0.00025 mol NaOH in excess

0.00025 mol NaOH = 0.00025 mol OH-

Volume of the solution = 0.02500 l + 0.015 l + 1.00/1000 l = 0.041 l

[OH-] = 0.00025 mol / 0.041 l = 0.00610 M

pOH = - log (0.00610) = 2.21

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.21 = 11.76

11.76
