A 600.0 mL sample of 0.20 MHF is titrated with 0.10 MNaOH. Determine the pH of the solution after the addition of 600.0 mL of NaOH. The Ka of HF is 3.5×10?4.

Answer: pH=12.69

Explanation:

[tex]{\text{Moles of HF}=Molarity\times {\text{Volume of solution in liters}}[/tex]

[tex]{\text{Moles of HF}=0.20M\times 0.6L=0.12 moles[/tex]

[tex]HF\rightarrow H^++F^-[/tex]

Initial 0.12               0       0

Eqm   0.12-x           x        x

[tex]K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}[/tex]

[tex]3.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.12-x}[/tex]  

(neglecting small value of x in comparison to 0.12)

[tex]x=4.2\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Moles of [tex]H^+=4.2\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

[tex]NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-[/tex]

[tex]{\text{Molesof NaOH}}=Molarity\times {\text{Volume of solution in liters}}[/tex]

[tex]{\text{Moles of NaOH}}=0.10M\times 0.6L=0.06 moles[/tex]

0.06 moles of NaOH will give 0.06 moles of [tex][OH^-][/tex]

Now [tex]4.2\times 10^{-5}[/tex] moles of [tex]OH^-[/tex] will be neutralized by [tex]4.2\times 10^{-5}[/tex] moles of [tex]H^+[/tex] and [tex](0.06-4.2\times 10^{-5})=0.059[/tex] moles of [tex]OH^-[/tex] will be left.

Molarity of [tex]OH^-=\frac{0.059moles}{1.2L}=0.049M[/tex]

[tex]pOH=-\log[OH^-]=-\log[0.049]=1.31[/tex]

pH = 14 - pOH= 14 - 1.31 = 12.69
