Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 4.26
Explanation of Solution
The added OH- reacts completely with acetic acid.
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×50.0 mL = 0.005 mol
Number of moles of acetic acid left = 0.02−0.005=0.015 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.005 mol
If the final volume is V,
pH = pKa+log[CH3COO−][CH3COOH]pH = −log(1.8×10−5)+log(0.005/V0.015/V)pH = 4.74 + (−0.477)pH = 4.26

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 5.22
Explanation of Solution
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×150.0 mL = 0.015 mol

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 8.79
Explanation of Solution
CH3COOH + OH−→CH3COO− + H2O
Number of moles of acetic acid present = 0.200 mol1000 mL×100.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×200.0 mL = 0.02 mol
Number of moles of acetic acid left = 0.02−0.02=0.0 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.02 mol
This is the equivalence point of the reaction. At the equivalence point pH is affected by the conjugate base, acetate ions.

Answer to Problem 65E
pH = 12.14
Explanation of Solution
Number of moles of OH- added = 0.100 mol1000 mL×250.0 mL = 0.025 mol
Number of moles of acetate ions formed = 0.02 mol
Number of excess OH- moles from KOH = 0.025−0.020=0.005 mol
When a strong base and a weak base both are present in a solution, the amount of OH- added from weak base can be neglected as its dissociation constant is very small. The pH past the equivalence point is determined by the amount of excess base added.
[OH−]excess=0.005 mol(100.0+250.0) mL=0.014 M
pOH = −log(0.014)pOH = 1.86pH = 14 - 1.86pH = 12.14
