Calculate the pH of the following solutions:

A. 2 g of TlOH dissolved in water to give 2 litre of solution.


B. 0.3 g of Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water to give 500 mL of solution.


C. 0.3 g of NaOH dissolved in water to give 200 mL of solution.


D. 1mL of 13.6 M HCl is diluted with water to give 1 litre of solution.

To find out the concentration, we apply the formula:

Concentration=


Where n= No. of moles, V= Volume


As we know that n= ()


Concentration=


To calculate [H+], we apply the formula:


Kw = [H+] [OH-]


Where Kw is the ionic product of water which is defined as the product of molar concentration of H+ and OH- ions.


To calculate pH, we apply the formula:


pH = -log[H+]


a) For 2g of TiOH dissolved in water to give 2L of solution,


Given:


Mass of TiOH(m) = 2g


Volume(V) = 2l


Molar mass of TiOH(M) = 221 g/mol


To calculate concentration of TiOH, we apply the formula,


Concentration=


[TiOH] =


[TiOH] = 4.52 × 10-3 M


Now, the ionisation of TiOH


TiOH Ti+ + OH-


TiOH is completely ionised


[TiOH] = [OH-] = 4.52 × 10-3 M


To calculate [H+], we apply the formula


Kw = [H+] [OH-]


As the value of Kw is taken as 10-14


[H+] =


[H+] = 2.21 × 10-12 M


To calculate pH, we apply the formula:


pH = -log[H+]


pH = - log (2.21 × 10-12)


pH = -log 2.21 – (-12) log 10


pH = 12 – log2.21


pH = 12 – 0.3424


pH = 11.65


Thus, the pH of the given solution is 11.65


b) For 0.3g of Ca(OH)2 dissolved in water to give 500mL of solution,


Given:


Mass of Ca(OH)2 (m) = 0.3g


Volume(V) = 500 ml = L = 0.5L


Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 (M) = 40 × 2(16 + 1) = 74 g/mol


To calculate concentration of Ca(OH)2, we apply the formula,


Concentration=


[Ca(OH)2] =


[Ca(OH)2] = 8.1 × 10-3 M


Now, the ionisation of Ca(OH)2


Ca(OH)2 Ca2+ + 2OH-


Ca(OH)2 is completely ionised


[Ca(OH)2] = 2[OH-]


2[OH-]= 2 × 8.1 × 10-3 M


16 × 10-3 M


To calculate pOH, we apply the formula:


pOH = -log[OH-]


pOH = -log (16 × 10-3)


pOH = -log 16 – (-3) log 10


pOH = 3 -1.201


pOH = 1.79


As we know that pH + pOH = 14


pH = 14 – 1.79


pH = 12.21


Thus, the pH of the given solution is 12.21


c)for 0.3g of NaOH dissolved in water to give 500mL of solution,


Given:


Mass of NaOH (m) = 0.3g


Volume(V) = 200 ml = L = 0.2L


Molar mass of NaOH (M) = 40 g/mol


To calculate concentration of NaOH, we apply the formula,


Concentration=


[NaOH] =


[NaOH] = 3.75 × 10-2 M


Now, the ionisation of NaOH


NaOH Na + OH-


NaOH is completely ionised


[NaOH] = [OH-]


[OH-]= 3.75 × 10-2 M


To calculate pOH, we apply the formula:


pOH = -log[OH-]


pOH = -log (3.75 × 10-2 ) M


pOH = -log 3.75 – (-2) log 10


pOH = 2-log 3.75


pOH = 1.42


As we know that pH + pOH = 14


pH = 14 – 1.42


pH = 12.57


Thus, the pH of the given solution is 12.57


d)For 1mL of 13.6 M HCl diluted with water to give 1 L of solution:


Given:


M1 = 13.6M


V1 = 1ml


V2 = 1L = 1000ml



13.6 × 1 mL = M2 × 1000 mL


M2 = 1.36 × 10-2


Ionization of HCl


HCl H+ + Cl-


As it is completely ionized


[H+] = [HCl]


1.36 × 10-2


To calculate pH, we apply the formula:


pH = -log[H+]


pH = - log (1.36× 10-2)


pH = -log 1.36 – (-2) log 10


pH = 2 – log 1.36


pH = 2 – 0.1335


pH = 1.8665


Thus, the pH of the solution is 1.87
