Explanation Mass of sample weak acid = 5.55 g K a of the weak acid = 1.3 × 10 − 4 p K a = − log K a = − log ( 1 .3 × 10 − 4 ) = 3 .88 Volume of N a O H = 5 m L = 0.005 L Concentration of N a O H = 0.005 L × 6 M = 0.03 m o l Volume of solution = 750 m L = 0.750 L p H = 4.25 Let HA be the weak acid. Let the number of moles of acid be x . The reaction between the acid and the base can be written as follows: H A ( a q ) + O H − ( a q ) → A − ( a q ) + H 2 O ( l ) H A ( a q ) O H − ( a q ) A − Before Reaction x m o l e s 0.03 m o l e s 0 m o l e s After Reaction ( x − 0.03 ) m o l e s 0 m o l e s 0.03 m o l e s Now the concentrations of the conjugate base and the acid can be found as follows: [ A − ] = ( 0 .0300 ) mol 0 .750 L [ HA ] = ( x − 0 .300 ) mol 0 .750 L pH = p K a + log [ A − ] [ HA ] On substituting values, 4
