Answer
Step-by-step solution
6 stepsCalculate moles and molarity of
First, determine the molar mass of :
Molar mass ofNext, calculate the moles of present:
Since the volume of the solution is , the molarity of is:
As is a strong base, it dissociates completely, so the concentration of from is:
Calculate moles and molarity of
First, determine the molar mass of :
Molar mass ofNext, calculate the moles of present:
Since the volume of the solution is , the molarity of is:
dissociates completely into and , so the initial concentration of carbonate ion is:
Determine the for the carbonate ion ()
The carbonate ion acts as a weak base in water:
The for this reaction is related to the of its conjugate acid, ( for ).
Given for .
Calculate the additional from hydrolysis (common ion effect)
We set up an ICE table for the hydrolysis of :
Initial: (from )
Change:
Equilibrium:The equilibrium expression is:
Since is small and the initial is relatively large, we can assume is much smaller than 0.047174 and 0.125.
So,
This value of is indeed much smaller than 0.047174 and 0.125, so the approximation is valid.
The contribution of from is .Calculate the total concentration of
Total
[\ce{OH-}] = [\ce{OH-}]_{\text{NaOH}} + [\ce{OH-}]_{\text{from CO3^2-}}
Total
TotalCalculate pOH and pH
Finally, calculate the pH using the relationship :
Rounding to two decimal places, consistent with the precision of the given value:
The final answer is 13.10.
