7.2.2
Marking criteria:
Calculate n(H+) from H2SO4
Substitute for c and V in n = cV to calculate n(OH-) from NaOH
Substitute 12,96 into pH = - log[H3O+] to calculate [H+]
Substitute [H+] in [H3O+][OH-] = 1 x 10-14 to calculate [OH-] in
excess
Subtract n(H+) from n(OH-)TOTAL and relate to n(OH-)EXCESS. Marks
are awarded for substitution. LHS RHS
Final answer
n(H+) from H2SO4 = cV x 2
= (0,15)(0,02) x 2
= 0,006 mols
n(OH-) from NaOH = cV
= (0,25)(0,03)
= 0,0075 mols
pH = - log[H3O+]
12,96 = - log[H3O+]
[H3O+] = 1,096 x 10-3 mol.dm-3
[H3O+][OH- ] = 1 x 10-14
(1,096 x 10-3)[ OH- ] = 1 x 10-14
