Q.
0.1MNaOH is titrated with 0.1M,20mlHA till the end point, Ka(HA)=6×10−6 and degree of dissociation of HA is small as compared to unity. What is the pH of the resulting solution at the end point?
2NaOH+2HA→NaA+H2O
At end point ≡0.1×20=2 ∵20mLNaOH is required for the complete neutralization of HA NaA is a salt of strong base and weak acid
Thus, will undergo hydrolysis and solution will becomes basic C=[NaA]=20+202=0.05M
And pKa=−log(6×10−6)=5.2 pH at the end point =7+21(pKa+logC) 7+21(5.2+log0.05)=8.95
