Find the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M butanoic acid, CH3CH2CH2COOH (Ka = 1.54 x 10^-5), with 0.1000 M NaOH solution after the following additions of titrant.

(a) 10.00 mL: pH =
(b) 20.10 mL: pH =
(c) 25.00 mL: pH =

pH after the addition of 10 ml NaOH = 4.81

pH after the addition of 20.1 ml NaOH = 8.76

pH after the addition of 25 ml NaOH = 8.78

Explanation:

(1)

Moles of butanoic acid initially present = 0.1 x 20 = 2 m moles  = 2 x 10⁻³ moles,

Moles of NaOH added = 10 x 0.1 = 1 x 10⁻³ moles

                          CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH + NaOH ⇄ CH₃CH₂CH₂COONa + H₂O

Initial conc.            2 x 10⁻³                 1 x 10⁻³           0            

Equilibrium             1 x 10⁻³                   0                  1 x 10⁻³

Final volume = 20 + 10 = 30 ml = 0.03 lit

So final concentration of Acid =

Final concentration of conjugate base [CH₃CH₂CH₂COONa]

Since a buffer solution is formed which contains the weak butanoic acid and conjugate base of that acid .

Using Henderson Hasselbalch equation to find the pH

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
