Question 47 NECO • 2020 • CHEMISTRY • objective

A 0.250 M solution of a weak monoprotic acid \(HA\) is titrated at 25 °C with 0.100 M NaOH. After adding 12.5 mL of NaOH the pH is 4.75, and after adding 25.0 mL the pH is 5.30. (i) Determine the acid dissociation constant \(pK_a\) of \(HA\). (ii) Using the obtained \(pK_a\), calculate the pH of a buffer prepared by mixing 40.0 mL of the 0.250 M \(HA\) solution with 20.0 mL of its 0.250 M sodium salt \(NaA\).

Answer Options

A. pK_a = 5.00, buffer pH = 4.90
B. pK_a = 4.95, buffer pH = 4.70
Correct Answer C. pK_a = 5.11, buffer pH = 4.81
D. pK_a = 5.30, buffer pH = 5.00
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
pK_a = 5.11, buffer pH = 4.81
