Short Answer

Expert verified
a) For \(0.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added, the pH = 13.74. b) For \(20.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added, the pH = 12.74. c) For \(30.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added, the pH = 7.00. d) For \(40.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added, the pH = 1.26. e) For \(80.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added, the pH = 0.593.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the initial moles of Ba(OH)₂ and moles of HCl added

To calculate the initial moles of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\) and moles of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added at different volumes, we use the formula: Moles = Molarity × Volume For \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\): Initial moles = \(0.100 \mathrm{M}\) × \(80.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) = \(0.100 \mathrm{M}\) × \(0.0800 \mathrm{~L}\) = \(0.00800 \mathrm{~mol} \) For \(\mathrm{HCl}\), we will calculate the moles for each part (a-e) as the volume changes.
02

Determine the limiting reactant

Compare the moles of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{HCl}\) to determine the limiting reactant. Since 1 mole of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\) reacts with 2 moles of \(\mathrm{HCl}\), we will compare the moles of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) with two times the moles of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\).
03

Calculate moles of the remaining reactant and concentration of ions

Based on the limiting reactant, calculate the moles of the remaining reactant and evaluate the concentration of the ions in the solution.
04

Calculate the pH of the resulting solution

Use the equilibrium constant of the remaining reactant or the concentration of the ions to calculate the pH of the solution. Now, let's perform these steps for each part: a) \(0.0 \mathrm{~ml}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added: In this case, no \(\mathrm{HCl}\) is added, therefore we only have the Barium hydroxide in the solution. We can directly compute the pOH and then find pH by subtracting it from 14. b) \(20.0 \mathrm{~ml}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added: Moles of \(\mathrm{HCl} = 0.400 \mathrm{M}\) × \(20.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) = \(0.400 \mathrm{M}\) × \(0.0200 \mathrm{~L}\) = \(0.00800 \mathrm{~mol}\) MoRAR (Moles of Reactant Available for Reaction) = Moles of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) - 2 × Moles of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\) MoRAR = 0.00800 - (2 × 0.00800) = -0.00800 Since the MoRAR is negative, it indicates that \(\mathrm{HCl}\) is a limiting reactant. Now, we can find the remaining moles of \(\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_{2}\) and calculate its concentration. c) \(30.0 \mathrm{~ml}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added: Calculate the moles of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) and compute MoRAR as described above. Evaluate the pH of the solution by considering the MoRAR value. d) \(40.0 \mathrm{~ml}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added: Perform the same steps as described above to find the MoRAR and calculate the pH of the solution. e) \(80.0 \mathrm{~ml}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added: Finally, perform these steps for \(80.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) added and calculate the final equilibrium pH of the reaction mixture.

Most popular questions from this chapter

What are the major species in solution after \(\mathrm{NaHSO}_{4}\) is dissolved in water? What happens to the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of the solution as more \(\mathrm{NaHSO}_{4}\) is added? Why? Would the results vary if baking soda \(\left(\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\right)\) were used instead?

A buffered solution is made by adding \(50.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}\) to \(1.00\) \(\mathrm{L}\) of a \(0.75-M\) solution of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3} .\) Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of the final solution. (Assume no volume change.)

a. Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) of a buffered solution that is \(0.100 \mathrm{M}\) in \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}\) (benzoic acid, \(K_{\mathrm{a}}=6.4 \times 10^{-5}\) ) and \(0.100 \mathrm{M}\) in \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{Na}\). b. Calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) after \(20.0 \%\) (by moles) of the benzoic acid is converted to benzoate anion by addition of a strong base. Use the dissociation equilibrium $$ \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q) $$ to calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\). c. Do the same as in part b, but use the following equilibrium to calculate the \(\mathrm{pH}\) : \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)\) d. Do your answers in parts \(\mathrm{b}\) and \(\mathrm{c}\) agree? Explain.

Could a buffered solution be made by mixing aqueous solutions of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) and \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) ? Explain. Why isn't a mixture of a strong acid and its conjugate base considered a buffered solution?

What quantity (moles) of \(\mathrm{HCl}(g)\) must be added to \(1.0 \mathrm{~L}\) of 2.0 \(M \mathrm{NaOH}\) to achieve a pH of \(0.00 ?\) (Neglect any volume changes.)
