Question

40 mL of 0.10 M H3PO4 + 40 mL of 0.25 M NaOH

Open in App
Solution

At 1st equivalence point, 40×0.1=4 mmol of H3PO4 will react with 4 mmol of NaOH.
Same will be the case for 2nd equivalence point.
At 3rd equivalence point, however, 4 mmol of NaOH is needed but only 2 mmol are left.
Hence, 2 mmol of salt will be formed.
Similarly, 42=2 mmol of acid will be left.
pH=pKa3+log[salt][acid]
pH=pKa3=12{[salt]=[acid]}
