Question

A $30 m L$ solution of $0.2 M C H_{3} C O O H$ is titrated with $0.2 M N a O H$ . Find the $p H$ of the solution when $10 m L$ of $N a O H$ has been added.
Given $p K_{a} (C H_{3} C O O H) = 4.74$

Solution

The correct option is B 4.44
mmol of $C H_{3} C O O H = 30 \times 0.2 = 6$
mmol of $N a O H = 10 \times 0.2 = 2$

$C H_{3} C O O H (a q) + N a O H (a q) \to C H_{3} C O O N a (a q) + H_{2} O (l) I n i t i a l l y : 6200 F i n a l : 4022$

After titration we can see that $4 m m o l$ of $C H_{3} C O O H$ and $2 m m o l$ of $C H_{3} C O O N a$ are present.
$Final Concentration = \frac{Moles}{Total Volume}$
Total Volume $= 30 + 10 = 40 m L$
$[C H_{3} C O O H] = \frac{4}{40} M$
$[C H_{3} C O O N a] = \frac{2}{40} M$
An acidic buffer is formed. So,
$p H = p K_{a} + l o g (\frac{[C H_{3} C O O N a]}{[C H_{3} C O O H]}) p H = 4.74 + l o g ⎛ ⎝ \frac{\frac{2}{40}}{\frac{4}{40}} ⎞ ⎠ p H = 4.74 + l o g (\frac{1}{2}) = 4.74 - 0.3 p H = 4.44$
