Answer:
pH = 6.20
Explanation:
The pKa of cacodylic acid is 6.
To solve this question we must use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
pH = pKa +log [A⁻] / [HA]
Where pKa is the pKa of the weak acid = 6
And [] could be taken as the moles of A⁻ the conjugate base, and HA, the weak acid.
The moles of the NaOH added to the solution of the weak acid are = Moles A⁻
And moles HA = Initial moles HA - Moles NaOH added
Initial moles HA:
0.0200L * (0.130mol / L) = 0.00260 moles
Moles NaOH:
0.0200L * (0.0800mol / L) = 0.00160 moles = [A⁻]
Moles HA =
0.00260 moles - 0.00160 moles = 0.00100 moles = [HA]
pH = 6 +log [0.00160 moles] / [0.00100 moles]
pH = 6.20
The pH of the resulting solution is 1.6.
Let cacodylic acid be HA, mixing cacodylic acid and NaOH, the following occurs;
HA(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------> NaA(aq) + H2O(l)
Number of moles of NaOH = 0.0800 molL−1 × 20.0/1000 = 0.0016 moles
Number of moles of HA = 20.0/1000 × 0.130 = 0.0026 moles
We can see that the HA is in excess, Number of moles of excess acid =
0.0026 - 0.0016 = 0.001 moles
Total volume of solution = 20.0 mL + 20.0 mL = 40 mL or 0.004 L
Molarity of excess acid = 0.001 moles/0.004 L = 0.025 M
pH = -log[H^+]
pH = -log[0.025 M]
pH = 1.6
