Answer:

a. 122.6 mL / pH = 4.03

b. 193.6 mL / pH = 5.73

Explanation:

In the equivalence point we know: mmoles acid = mmoles base- And the pH in a titration between a weak base and a strong base, is acid, at the equivalence point. For the volume, we can replace the equation with the data given.

a. 0.125M . volume of acid = 65.5 mL . 0.234M

Volume of acid = (65.5 . 0.234) / 0.125 = 122.6 mL

Total volume at the equivalence point = 188.1 mL

b. 0.125M . volume of acid = 21.8 mL . 1.11 M

Volume of acid = (21.8 .  1.11) / 0.125 = 193.6 mL

Let's calculate the pH. In the equilavence point we have a neutralization reaction.

a. NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl

All the mmoles of protons (65.5 mL . 0.234M) react to ammonia, to obtain ammonium.

New concentration is: 15.32 mmoles / 188.1 mL = 0.0814 M

This is the [NH₄⁺] to determine the pH in the acid base equilibrium.

NH₄⁺  +  H₂O  ⇄  NH₃  +  H₃O⁺      Ka

Expression for Ka = [NH₃]  . [H₃O⁺] / [NH₄⁺]

5.6×10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (15.32 - x)

(We can avoid the quadratic equation 'cause Ka is so small)

√(5.6×10⁻¹⁰ . 15.32) = x → [H₃O⁺] = 9.26×10⁻⁵

pH = - log [H₃O⁺] → 4.03

b. CH₃NH₂ + HCl → CH₃NH₃Cl

All the mmoles of protons (21.8 mL . 1.11M) react to methylamine, to obtain methylammonium.

New concentration is: 24.2 mmoles / 193.6 mL = 0.125 M

This is the [CH₃NH₃⁺] to determine the pH in the acid base equilibrium.

CH₃NH₃⁺  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃NH₂  +  H₃O⁺      Ka

Expression for Ka = [CH₃NH₂]  . [H₃O⁺] / [CH₃NH₃⁺]

2.7×10⁻¹¹ = x² / (0.125 - x)

(We can avoid the quadratic equation 'cause Ka is so small)

√(2.7×10⁻¹¹ . 0.125) = x → [H₃O⁺] = 1.84×10⁻⁶

pH = - log [H₃O⁺] → 5.73

The pH of the equivalence point of 0.125M HCl with NH₃ is 4.03 and with CH₃NH₂ is 5.73.

What is equivalence point?

In the acid - base titration, at the equivalence point equal moles of acid as well as of base are present.

First we calculate the volume of HCl by using the below equation as:

  • M₁V₁ = M₂V₂, where

M₁ = molarity of NH₃ = 0.234 M

V₁ = volume of NH₃ = 65.5 mL

M₂ = molarity of HCl = 0.125 M

V₂ = volume of HCl = ?

V₂ =  (65.5 . 0.234) / 0.125 = 122.6 mL

Total volume at the equivalence point = 188.1 mL

Chemical reacion will be written as:

NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl

All moles of protons react with moles of ammonia, so new moles (n) will be calculated as:

n = molarity × volume

n = 65.5 mL × 0.234M = 15.32 moles

Now, concentration in terms of molarity will be 15.32 mmoles / 188.1 mL = 0.0814 M

pH in the acid-base reaction due to [NH₄⁺], as:

NH₄⁺  +  H₂O  ⇄  NH₃  +  H₃O⁺

Value of Ka for this reaction is = 5.6×10⁻¹⁰

According to the ICE table, Ka equation will be written as-

5.6×10⁻¹⁰ = x² / (15.32 - x)

x = [H₃O⁺] = 9.26 × 10⁻⁵

pH = - log [H₃O⁺] = 4.03

  • Again we calculate the volume of HCl with the CH₃NH₂ as:

0.125M . volume of acid = 21.8 mL . 1.11 M

Volume of acid = (21.8 .  1.11) / 0.125 = 193.6 mL

Total volume at the equivalence point = 215.4 mL

Chemical reacion will be written as:

CH₃NH₂ + HCl → CH₃NH₃Cl

All moles of protons react with moles of ammonia, so new moles (n) will be calculated as:

n = 21.8 mL . 1.11M = 24.2 moles

Now, concentration in terms of molarity will be 24.2 moles / 215.4 mL = 0.11M

pH in the acid-base reaction due to [CH₃NH₃⁺], as:

CH₃NH₃⁺  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃NH₂  +  H₃O⁺

Value of Ka = 2.7×10⁻¹¹

According to the ICE table, Ka equation will be written as-

2.7×10⁻¹¹ = x² / (0.11 - x)

x = [H₃O⁺] = 5.4×10⁻⁶

pH = - log [H₃O⁺] = 5.73

Hence the value of pH will be 4.03 and 5.73 respectively.
