Chapter 15, Problem 68E

Repeat the procedure in Exercise 61, but for the titration of 25.0 mL of 0.100 M propanoic acid (HC₃H₅O₂,K_a = 1.3 × 10⁻⁵) with 0.100 M NaOH.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The titration of Propanoic acid with different volumes of $\text{NaOH}$ is given. The $\text{pH}$ of each solution is to be calculated and the graph between $\text{pH}$ and volume of $\text{NaOH}$ added is to be plotted.

Concept introduction: Titration is a quantitative chemical analysis method that is used for the determination of concentration of an unknown solution. In acid base titration, the neutralization of either acid or base is done with a base or acid respectively of known concentration. This helps to determine the unknown concentration of acid or base.

When the amount of the titrant added is just sufficient for the neutralization of analyte is called equivalence point. At this point equal equivalents of both the acid and base are added.

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of each of the given solution and the graph between $\text{pH}$ and volume of $\text{NaOH}$ added.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation

The concentration of Propanoic acid is $0.100\text{M}$.

The concentration of $\text{NaOH}$ is $0.100\text{M}$.

The volume of Propanoic acid is $25.0\text{mL}$.

The volume of $\text{NaOH}$ is. $0.0\text{mL}$, $4.0\text{mL}$, $8.0\text{mL}$, $12.5\text{mL}$, $20.0\text{mL}$, $24.0\text{mL}$, $24.5\text{mL}$, $24.9\text{mL}$, $25.0\text{mL}$, $25.1\text{mL}$, $26.0\text{mL}$, $28.0\text{mL}$, $30.0\text{mL}$

The value of $K_{\text{a}}$ of Propanoic acid is $1.3\times {10}^{-5}$

The conversion of $\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,

$1\text{mL}=0.001\text{L}$

Hence the conversion of $25.0\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,

$\begin{array}{c}25\text{mL}=25\times 0.001\text{L}\\ =\text{0}\text{.025}\text{L}\end{array}$

The concentration of any species is given as,

$\text{Concentration}=\frac{\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}\text{in}\text{litres}}$ (1)

Rearrange the above equation to obtain the value of number of moles.

$\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}=\text{Concentration}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}\text{in}\text{litres}$ (2)

Substitute the concentration and volume of ${\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2$ in the above equation as,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}=\text{Concentration}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}\text{in}\text{litres}\\ =\text{0}\text{.100}\text{M}\times \text{0}\text{.025}\text{L}\\ =\text{0}\text{.0025}\text{moles}\end{array}$

Make the ICE table for the reaction between ${\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2$ and $\text{NaOH}$.

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}& {\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2& +& \text{NaOH}& \stackrel{}{\rightleftharpoons }& {\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2{}^{-}{\text{Na}}^{+}& +& {\text{H}}_2\text{O}\\ \text{Initial moles:}& 0.0025& & 0& & 0& & \\ \text{Change}:& -0& & -0& & +0.0025& & \\ \text{Final}\text{moles}:& 0.0025& & 0& & 0.0025& & \end{array}$

The above equation shows the presence of equilibrium condition in the solution.

Make the ICE table for the dissociation reaction of ${\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2$.

$\begin{array}{ccccc}& {\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2& \stackrel{}{\rightleftharpoons }& {\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2{}^{-}& {\text{H}}^{+}\\ \text{Initial}\text{(M)}:& 0.100& & 0& 0\\ \text{Change}\left(\text{M}\right):& -x& & x& x\\ \text{Equilibrium}\left(\text{M}\right):& 0.100-x& & x& x\end{array}$

The equilibrium ratio for the given reaction is,

$K_{\text{a}}=\frac{\left[{\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2{}^{-}\right]\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]}{\left[{\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2\right]}$

Substitute the calculated concentration values in the above expression.

$\begin{array}{c}{K}_{\text{a}}=\frac{\left[{\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2{}^{-}\right]\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]}{\left[{\text{HC}}_3{\text{H}}_5{\text{O}}_2\right]}\\ \text{1}\text{.3}\times {\text{10}}^{-5}=\frac{\left(x\right)\left(x\right)}{\left(0.100-x\right)\text{M}}\end{array}$

Since, value of $K_{\text{a}}$ is very small, hence, $\left(0.100-x\right)$ is taken as $\left(0.100\right)$.

Simplify the above equation,

$\begin{array}{c}1.3\times {10}^{-5}=\frac{\left(x\right)\left(x\right)}{\left(0.100-x\right)\text{M}}\\ 1.3\times {10}^{-5}=\frac{\left(x\right)\left(x\right)}{0.100\text{M}}\\ x=0.0011\text{}\text{M}\end{array}$

It is the concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$.

The $\text{pH}$ of a solution is shown below.

$\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ (3)

Where,

• $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ is the concentration of Hydrogen ions.

Substitute the value of $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ in the above equation as,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]\\ =-\log \left(0.0011\right)\\ =\underset{\_}{2.95}\end{array}$

The value of $\text{pH}$ of solution when $0.0\text{}\text{mL}$ $\text{NaOH}$ has been added is. $\underset{\_}{2.95}$.

The volume of $\text{NaOH}$ is $4.0\text{mL}$.

The conversion of $\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,

$1\text{mL}=0.001\text{L}$

Hence the conversion of $4.0\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{4}\text{.0}\text{mL}=4.0\times 0.001\text{L}\\ =\text{0}\text{.004}\text{L}\end{array}$

Substitute the value of concentration and volume of $\text{NaOH}$ in equation (2) as,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}=\text{Concentration}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution}\text{in}\text{litres}\\ =\text{0}\text{.100}\text{M}\times 0.004\text{L}\\ =\text{0}\text{.0004}\text{moles}\end{array}$

Since, value of $K_{\text{a}}$ is very small, hence, $\left(0.072-x\right)$ is taken as $\left(0.072\right)$ and $\left(0.013+x\right)$ is taken as $0.013$.

Simplify the above equation,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{1}\text{.3}\times {\text{10}}^{-5}=\frac{\left(0.013+x\right)\left(x\right)}{\left(0.072-x\right)\text{M}}\\ \text{1}\text{.3}\times {\text{10}}^{-5}=\frac{\left(0.013\right)\left(x\right)}{\left(0.072\right)\text{M}}\\ x=7.2\times {10}^{-5}\text{M}\end{array}$

It is the concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$.

Substitute the value of $\left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]$ in the equation (3)

$\begin{array}{c}\text{pH}=-\log \left[{\text{H}}^{+}\right]\\ =-\log \left(7.2\times {10}^{-5}\right)\\ =\underset{\_}{4.14}\end{array}$

The value of $\text{pH}$ of solution when $4.0\text{}\text{mL}$ $\text{NaOH}$ has been added is. $\underset{\_}{4.14}$.

The volume of $\text{NaOH}$ is $8.0\text{mL}$.

The conversion of $\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,

$1\text{mL}=0.001\text{L}$

Hence the conversion of $8.0\text{mL}$ into $\text{L}$ is done as,
