Question 2
15 pts
SHOW WORK 20.00 mL of 0.2219 M sodium acetate was
titated with 18.46 mL of 0.1857 M HCl
Answer the questions about the process of setting up the problem to calculate pH.
Set up the first mmol table on paper, and enter the values from that table. If you need
to enter a zero, enter it as 0 (with no decimal places).
INITIAL mmol A
INITIAL mmol H
INITIAL mmol HA
END mmol A
END mmol H
END mmol HA
At what point is this titration reaction? (Choices are initial, buffer, eq pt, excess)
Are the assumptions OK? (Choices are yes, no, none. If no assumptions are being
made, answer none.)
Which $K_a$ or $K_b$ is used in the final calculation of the pH? (Choices are: $K_a$, $K_b$, $pK_a$,
none)
Calculate the pH and report to 2 decimal places.
