3. a) 1.0 mL NaOH and 4.0 mL HOAc
Step 1: Calculate the ratio A-/HA.
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
4.30 = 4.76 + log [A-]/[HA]
0.34673685 = [A-][HA]
This means that for every 1 mol of HA, there is
0.34673685 mol of A-.
Step 2: Calculate the molarity, and later the amount in
moles, of each component in the buffer.
MA- = [0.34673685/(1.00 + 0.34673685)]*0.02
MA- = 5.15 x 10-3 M
molA- = (MA-)*0.01 L = 5.15 x 10-5 moles
MHA = [1.00/(1.00 + 0.34673685)]*0.02
MHA = 1.49 x 10-2 M
molHA = (MA-)*0.01 L = 1.49 x 10-4 moles
Step 3: Calculate the total moles of weak acid component.
moltotalHA = 5.15 x 10-5 + 1.49 x 10-4
moltotalHA = 2.00 x 10-4
Step 4: Calculate the volume of each stock solution.
VNaOH = (5.15 x 10-5 mol)/0.05 M = 1.0 mL
VHOAc = (2.00 x 10-4 mol)/0.05 M = 4.0 mL
b) pH = 5.25
Step 1: Calculate the amount of acid added in moles.
molHCl = (0.05 x 10-3 L)(0.05 M) = 2.5 x 10-6
Step 2: Use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
pH = 4.76 + log [5.15 x 10-5 - 2.5 x 10-6]
/ [1.49 x 10-4 + 2.5 x 10-6]
pH = 5.25
4. a. PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
b. To the right (Kc > Qc)
c. Using ICE table,

[PCl5] = 2.000 x = 0.2050; x = 1.795

[PCl3] = [Cl2] = 1.800 + x = 3.59

since pH=2.2, the value of H3O+ = 6.309573445x10-3 .

Use this as the value of H3O+ and HPO4- since they are
stoichometrically equal. From pKa1, we can get the Ka1
which is 6.9x10-3. Use the equation
xx
(6.31 103 )2
Ka1 =

? x ? (6.31 103 )
to get the value of ?=0.0120792425 M. Use the MW of
phosphoric acid to get the mass of phosphoric acid to be
use which is 0.5918531744 g or 0.592 g.
