Similar to acetic acid, benzoic acid is a weak acid (HA) and is a commonly used as antimicrobial preservative in food and beverages, especially in carbonated beverages Suppose 10.00-mL of 0.5000 M benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is titrated with 0.2000M NaOH. Ka for benzoic acid is 6.3 x 10-5 . What is the pH after addition of 35.00 mL of NaOH to the benzoic acid solution?

Question
Similar to acetic acid, benzoic acid is a weak acid (HA) and is a commonly used as antimicrobial preservative in food and beverages, especially in carbonated beverages Suppose 10.00-mL of 0.5000 M benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is titrated with 0.2000M NaOH. Ka for benzoic acid is 6.3 x 10-5 . What is the pH after addition of 35.00 mL of NaOH to the benzoic acid solution?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given -

Molarity of benzoic acid = 0.5000M

Volume of benzoic acid= 10.00 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.2000 M

Ka for benzoic acid = 6.3 x 10-5 

Volume of NaOH = 35.00mL
