What is the pH at the equivalence point in the titration of a 20.4 mL sample of a 0.444 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution with a 0.450 M aqueous barium hydroxide solution? pH =
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![### Titration Problem: Calculating pH at the Equivalence Point
**Question:**
What is the pH at the equivalence point in the titration of a 20.4 mL sample of a 0.444 M aqueous hypochlorous acid solution with a 0.450 M aqueous barium hydroxide solution?
*Calculation Box:*
pH = [Text Box]
**Explanation:**
In order to solve this problem, you need to determine the pH at the equivalence point of the titration. This involves the following steps:
1. **Calculate moles of hypochlorous acid (HClO):**
\[ \text{Moles of HClO} = 0.444 \ \text{M} \times 20.4 \ \text{mL} \times \frac{1 \ \text{L}}{1000 \ \text{mL}} \]
2. **Calculate moles of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂):**
\[ \text{Moles of Ba(OH)₂} = 0.450 \ \text{M} \times 20.4 \ \text{mL} \times \frac{1 \ \text{L}}{1000 \ \text{mL}} \]
3. **Stoichiometric calculations to find the equivalence point volumes.**
4. **Determine the pH using the balanced equation and concentrations of products at the equivalence point.**
**Additional Information:**
- Barium hydroxide is a strong base and dissociates completely in water.
- Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.
- At the equivalence point, the amount of acid equals the amount of base.
**Notes:**
Accurate calculation of pH requires knowledge of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for hypochlorous acid, which isn't provided in the problem but is necessary in a real application.
This example illustrates the steps and principles involved in a titration problem commonly encountered in classroom settings and standardized tests.
