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
