We are given 100 milliliters of 0 .3 molar unknown acid, and we add 100 milliliters of 0 .150 molar koh, and when that happens, the ph is 4 .64.
00:10
We are then asked to determine what the ph would be after another 100 milliliters of the base was added.
00:19
So we are going to first have to figure out what the ka would be for this unknown acid, and we can do that using this equation.
00:27
H plus equals ka times the concentration of the weak acid over the concentration of that base.
00:37
Make these concentration signs right here.
00:42
So we'll go ahead and plug that information in.
00:45
So two point, sorry, to find our h plus concentration, it's 10 to the negative 4 .64, and that equals 2 .29 times 10 to the negative fifth molar.
01:00
So that's where this number is coming from.
01:02
2 .29 times 10 to the negative fifth equals our ka, which is what we're trying to find, the concentration of our weak acid.
01:12
We need to put that into millimoles.
01:15
So 100 times 0 .3 is going to be 30.
01:20
So we have 30 millimoles of that in there to start with, and we have zero millimoles of that base, and then we are going to add that.
01:29
So 100 times 0 .15 is going to give us 15 millimoles, and we will subtract 15 from the top.
01:36
So 15 over 15, that's going to cancel out, and that tells us that our ka equals 2 .29 times 10 to the negative fifth...
