Problem 2 A 489mL sample of 0.5542M HNO3 is mixed with 427mL sample of NaOH (which has a pH of 14.06). What is the pH of the resulting solution?
Write out the reaction: H+ + NO3

Or after eliminating spectator ions: H+ + OH- → H2O Now, make an ICE chart using moles to find out what’s left after reaction: What’s [NaOH]? Now solve for pOH using moles of OH-, and then find pH:

Problem 3 The Ka values at 25oC for a series of acids is given: 1.8 x 10-5
7.6 x 10-4
1.3 x 10-3 1.4 x 10-3 2.2 x 10-2 Which of the following acids has a Ka = 1.4 x 10-3?
First realize all the answers are forms of ethanoic acid. Then, realize they want you to pick the 2nd strongest acid of the bunch since it has the 2nd largest Ka. So you want to analyze each acid’s conjugate base stability: Notice that the electronegative halogens act to stabilize the conjugate base, which come from the strongest acids. Cl is most electronegative, and most stabilizing.

Problem 4 Consider a solution containing 0.45M HCN and 0.69M NaCN for the next two questions. The Ka for HCN = 6.2 x 10-10. What is the pH of this solution? Write out the reaction of the acid dissociation: HCN ↔ H+ + CN- Write out the ions that the salt produces: NaCN → Na+ + CN-
Now, make a chart using molarity to find out what’s in this buffer solution: Now solve for pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

Problem 5 Consider a solution containing 0.45M HCN and 0.69M NaCN for the next two questions. The Ka for HCN = 6.2 x 10-10. Now calculate the pH of this solution after 0.25 mol of NaOH is added to 1.00L of the solution. Assume that the volume does not change.
The added NaOH (base) will react with the HCN (acid), so we should form an ICE chart to see what remains after reaction:

Problem 6 Consider a 7.3 x 10-10M solution of HCl at 285 K. What is the pH of the solution? Since this is a strong acid, we can simply take [HCl]=[H+] since it fully dissociates, and find pH easily:
Does this make any sense? What’s wrong with it? Think about it. We’re calculating pH of an acid…yet pH>7. What does this mean? Well, look at the concentration of HCl; it is extremely tiny, so it is negligible. In other words, when compared to water, HCl would lose in this case since it’s so dilute. Simply pH is simply that of neutral water (pH=7)!

Problem 7 For the following reaction, K < 1 at room temperature. HOCl (aq) + HCO3
- (aq) ↔ H2CO3 (aq) + OCl- (aq) Which of the following statements is true? A) H2CO3 is a stronger acid than HOCl. True. Since K<1, we know that the
stronger acid is on the product side (H2CO3). B) HOCl is a stronger acid than H2CO3. False. See A. C) OCl- is a stronger acid than HOCl. False. OCl- is a base. D) HCO3
- is stronger base than OCl-. False. Since K<1, we know the stronger base is on the product side (OCl-).
E) More information is needed.
Problem 8 What is the pH of a solution that results from adding 0.081 mol Ca(OH)2 (s) to 1.37L of a buffer comprised of 0.21M HF and 0.21M NaF? First, write out the buffer solution’s reaction:
HF ↔ H+ + F-
Now, if we add Ca(OH)2 (strong base), it will react with the HF (acid). So let’s construct an ICE table in moles to find out what’s left after reaction: Now solve for pH using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

Problem 9 A 0.251L solution of 1.89M sulfurous acid (Ka1 = 1.5x10-2 and Ka2 = 1.0x10-7) is titrated with 1.25M NaOH. What will the pH of the solution be when 0.6793L of the NaOH has been added? First, write out the first acid dissociation: (notice how you don’t need to know what sulfurous acid is, just keep in mind it’s diprotic)
H2A ↔ HA- + H+
Now, if we add NaOH (strong base), it will react with the H2A (acid). So let’s construct an ICE table in moles to find out what’s left after reaction: Are we done? No. Remember, this is diprotic and so we have excess OH- that will react with HA-. …continued on next slide….

Problem 13 How many of the following are true?
1. The buffer with the greatest buffering capacity for a phenol/sodium phenolate buffer system will have a pH of 9.60. False, phenol: Ka=1.6x10-10, so pH=pKa=9.80.
2. A buffer resists pH change when base is added by converting hydroxide ions to hydronium ions.. False, the hydroxide (OH-) would react with the acid (HA) to form H2O, not H3O+.
3. A buffered system can be formed by combining a weak acid/conjugate base pair in solution. True, this is a weak acid+salt combination.
4. A buffer is formed when you add HCl to NH3. True, but only near the halfway point.
5. A buffer is formed when you add HCl to CH3COOH. False, this is a weak acid and strong acid addition, pH would just increase a lot.
Problem 14 Which of the following solutions will produce a buffer with pH near 10.50?
1. 1.00L of 0.50M HSO4- (Ka = 1.0x10-7) + 1.00L of 0.25M KOH.
No, pH=pKa=7.
2. 2.00L 0.50M H2NNH2 (Kb = 3.0x10-6) + 2.00L 0.25M HI. No, Ka=3.33x10-9, so pH=pKa=8.50.
3. 0.100L 1.00M H3BO3 (Ka = 5.8x10-10) + 0.020L 2.50M HBr. No, pH=pKa=9.20.
4. 0.100L of 0.50M HONH2 (Kb = 1.1x10-8) + 0.50L of 0.050M HNO3. No, Ka=9.1x10-7, so pH=pKa=6.04.
5. 0.500L 1.00M CH3NH2 (Kb = 4.4x10-4) + 1.00L 0.25M HI. Yes, Ka=2.27x10-11, so pH=pKa=10.64.
Problem 15 The next three problems deal with the titration of 145mL of 1.35M methylamine CH3NH2 (Kb = 4.4 x 10-4) with 0.25M HCl.
Water will be a major species throughout the titration. The chemical species, in addition to water, that can be found in this reaction mixture during the titration are:
I. H+ II. OH- III. Cl- IV. CH3NH2 V. CH3NH3+
What is the pH at equivalence point?
At equivalence point, we want equal moles of CH3NH2 and HCl: Now, we want to calculate the pH of CH3NH3
+ in water: Remember to use molarities, so divide by total volume 0.145L from methylamine 0.784L from HCl (you get this from 0.196moles/0.25M=0.784L)
