Question

The equivalent point in a titration of 40.0 mL of a solution of a weak monoprotic acid occurs when 35.0 mL of a 0.10 M NaOH solution has been added. The pH of the solution is 5.75 after the addition of 20.0 mL of NaOH solution. What is the dissociation constant of the acid?

Solution

Va=40ml, Vb=35ml, NaOH molarity=0.1M pH=5.5
H1V1=M2V2
M1=0.1×3540=0.0875M
pH=log[H+]
[H+]=1045
[H+]=3.16×106
HAH++A
Ka=[H+][A][HA]
[H+]=[A]
Ka=(3.16×106)20.0875
Ka=1.1×1010
Dissociation Constant of acid=1.1×1010
