What is the pH of a solution...?
« on: July 10, 2012, 01:17:19 PM »
Good day all,

I have a question regarding pH, if anyone has any insight for the following question it would be greatly appreciated.

Question:

What is the pH of a solution prepared by mixing 25.0 ml of 0.180 M CH3COOH with 40.0 ml 0.250 M NaOH?

I'm just not sure what formula to use...
Thank you.

What reaction takes place? What are the products?

Unfortunately I'm not too sure...
I think the reaction that takes place is a base reaction..
And the product I'm not sure... :-[

That means your problem is not "just what formula to use". It is hardly possible to answer questions about pH if you don't know anything about simple neutralization reactions.

You have an acid and a base. What are products of reactions between acids and bases?

CH3COOH+NaOH ---->CH3COO- + H20(l)


-Convert to moles
-Do an ICE Chart
-Convert back to Molarity with new volume
-Then pH can be found using -log.....side note, this will give you your pOH-14.

I got 12.93. I could be wrong, I'm just learning this as well as I am in Chem2 at my university.
