a) when 39.0mL of 0.290M NaOH(aq) is added
1- firs we need to get the number of moles (n) for both HCl and NaOH :
when n (HCl)= volume * molarity
= (0.0290 L)(0.290 mol/L)
= 8.41×10ˉ³ mol
and when n (NaOH) = volume * molarity
= (0.0390 L)(0.290 mol/L)
= 1.13×10ˉ² mol
moles of NaOH remaining = 1.13×10ˉ² - 8.41×10ˉ³
= 2.89×10ˉ³ mol
2- then we will get the total volume:
total V = 0.029 L + 0.039L
= 0.068 L
3- we calculate the [OH-] :
[OH-] = moles / volume
= 2.89×10ˉ³ mol / 0.068 L
= 4.25×10ˉ² M
4- calculate POH from the value of [OH-] :
when POH = -㏒[OH-]
= -㏒(4.25 x 10^-2)
= 1.37
5- Calculate the PH from the value of POH:
when PH + POH = 14
∴ PH = 14-1.37 = 12.63
b) when 19.0mL of 0.390M NaOH(aq) is added :
1- firs we need to get the number of moles (n) for both HCl and NaOH :
when n (HCl)= volume * molarity
= (0.0290 L)(0.290 mol/L)
= 8.41×10ˉ³ mol
n(NaOH) = volume * molarity
= (0.0190 L)(0.390 mol/L)
= 7.41x10ˉ³ mol
moles of HCl remaining = 8.41 x 10^-3 - 7.41 x 10^-3
= 1.0×10ˉ³ mol
2- then we will get the total volume:
total V = 0.0290 + 0.0190
= 0.0480 L
3- we calculate the [HCl]=[H+] :
[H+] = moles / volume
= 1.0×10ˉ³ mol / 0.0480 L
= 2.08×10ˉ² M
4- finally we calculate the PH from the [H+] value:
when PH = -㏒[H+]
= -㏒ 2.08 x 10^-2
= 1.7
