You prepared 500 mL buffer solution that contains 0.50 moles monoprotic weak acid (HA) and 0.30 moles conjugate base (NaA). The solution has a pH of 4.20.

Consider the titration of a weak acid that has a pKa = 4.00. Suppose a chemist was going to perform a titration on 50.0 mL of 0.050 0 M of the weak acid using 0.500 M NaOH. (A) What would be the pH of the solution after 0.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH has been added?(B) What would be the pH halfway to the equivalence point of the titration?(C) What would be the pH at the equivalence point in the titration? (D) What would be the pH of the solution after 6.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH has been added? Use the following reasoning when solving this problem. Because at the equivalence point the moles of strong base (0.500 M NaOH) added as a titrant equal the moles of weak acid, HA (50.0 ml of 0.050 M) in the solution, we can start by calculating the volume of 0.500 M NaOH needed to reach the equivalence point. To do this we simply equate the moles of HA to moles of NaOH by using the dilution formula. i.e. MaVa = MbVb where a represents HA and b represents NaOH. To calculate volume of NaOH needed to reach…
