Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Calculate moles and molarity of \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH}

    First, determine the molar mass of \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH}:
    Molar mass of \ceNaOH=22.99 (Na)+16.00 (O)+1.01 (H)=40.00 g/mol\ce{NaOH} = 22.99\ (\text{Na}) + 16.00\ (\text{O}) + 1.01\ (\text{H}) = 40.00\ \text{g/mol}

    Next, calculate the moles of \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH} present:
    Moles of NaOH=Mass of NaOHMolar mass of NaOH=5.00 g40.00 g/mol=0.125 mol\text{Moles of NaOH} = \frac{\text{Mass of NaOH}}{\text{Molar mass of NaOH}} = \frac{5.00\ \text{g}}{40.00\ \text{g/mol}} = 0.125\ \text{mol}

    Since the volume of the solution is 1.00 L1.00\ \text{L}, the molarity of \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH} is:
    [\ceNaOH]=0.125 mol1.00 L=0.125 M[\ce{NaOH}] = \frac{0.125\ \text{mol}}{1.00\ \text{L}} = 0.125\ \text{M}

    As \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH} is a strong base, it dissociates completely, so the concentration of \ceOH−\ce{OH-} from \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH} is:
    [\ceOH−]NaOH=0.125 M[\ce{OH-}]_{\text{NaOH}} = 0.125\ \text{M}

  2. Calculate moles and molarity of \ceNa2CO3\ce{Na2CO3}

    First, determine the molar mass of \ceNa2CO3\ce{Na2CO3}:
    Molar mass of \ceNa2CO3=(2×22.99) (Na)+12.01 (C)+(3×16.00) (O)=45.98+12.01+48.00=105.99 g/mol\ce{Na2CO3} = (2 \times 22.99)\ (\text{Na}) + 12.01\ (\text{C}) + (3 \times 16.00)\ (\text{O}) = 45.98 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 105.99\ \text{g/mol}

    Next, calculate the moles of \ceNa2CO3\ce{Na2CO3} present:
    Moles of Na2CO3=Mass of Na2CO3Molar mass of Na2CO3=5.00 g105.99 g/mol=0.047174 mol\text{Moles of Na2CO3} = \frac{\text{Mass of Na2CO3}}{\text{Molar mass of Na2CO3}} = \frac{5.00\ \text{g}}{105.99\ \text{g/mol}} = 0.047174\ \text{mol}

    Since the volume of the solution is 1.00 L1.00\ \text{L}, the molarity of \ceNa2CO3\ce{Na2CO3} is:
    [\ceNa2CO3]=0.047174 mol1.00 L=0.047174 M[\ce{Na2CO3}] = \frac{0.047174\ \text{mol}}{1.00\ \text{L}} = 0.047174\ \text{M}

    \ceNa2CO3\ce{Na2CO3} dissociates completely into \ce2Na+\ce{2Na+} and \ceCO32−\ce{CO3^2-}, so the initial concentration of carbonate ion is:
    [\ceCO32−]0=0.047174 M[\ce{CO3^2-}]_0 = 0.047174\ \text{M}

  3. Determine the KbK_b for the carbonate ion (\ceCO32−\ce{CO3^2-})

    The carbonate ion acts as a weak base in water:
    \ceCO32−(aq)+H2O(l)<=>HCO3−(aq)+OH−(aq)\ce{CO3^2- (aq) + H2O (l) <=> HCO3- (aq) + OH- (aq)}
    The KbK_b for this reaction is related to the KaK_a of its conjugate acid, \ceHCO3−\ce{HCO3-} (Ka2K_{a2} for \ceH2CO3\ce{H2CO3}).
    Given Ka2K_{a2} for \ceH2CO3=5.6×10−11\ce{H2CO3} = 5.6 \times 10^{-11}.
    Kb=KwKa2=1.0×10−145.6×10−11=1.7857×10−4K_b = \frac{K_w}{K_{a2}} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-14}}{5.6 \times 10^{-11}} = 1.7857 \times 10^{-4}

  4. Calculate the additional \ceOH−\ce{OH-} from \ceCO32−\ce{CO3^2-} hydrolysis (common ion effect)

    We set up an ICE table for the hydrolysis of \ceCO32−\ce{CO3^2-}:
    \ceCO32−(aq)+H2O(l)<=>HCO3−(aq)+OH−(aq)\ce{CO3^2- (aq) + H2O (l) <=> HCO3- (aq) + OH- (aq)}
    Initial: 0.047174 M0.047174\ \text{M} 0 M0\ \text{M} 0.125 M0.125\ \text{M} (from \ceNaOH\ce{NaOH})
    Change: −x-x +x+x +x+x
    Equilibrium: 0.047174−x0.047174 - x xx 0.125+x0.125 + x

    The equilibrium expression is:
    Kb=[\ceHCO3−][\ceOH−][\ceCO32−]=(x)(0.125+x)0.047174−xK_b = \frac{[\ce{HCO3-}][\ce{OH-}]}{[\ce{CO3^2-}]} = \frac{(x)(0.125 + x)}{0.047174 - x}

    Since KbK_b is small and the initial [\ceOH−][\ce{OH-}] is relatively large, we can assume xx is much smaller than 0.047174 and 0.125.
    So, 1.7857×10−4≈(x)(0.125)0.0471741.7857 \times 10^{-4} \approx \frac{(x)(0.125)}{0.047174}
    x=(1.7857×10−4)×0.0471740.125x = \frac{(1.7857 \times 10^{-4}) \times 0.047174}{0.125}
    x=6.739×10−5 Mx = 6.739 \times 10^{-5}\ \text{M}

    This value of xx is indeed much smaller than 0.047174 and 0.125, so the approximation is valid.
    The contribution of \ceOH−\ce{OH-} from \ceCO32−\ce{CO3^2-} is 6.739×10−5 M6.739 \times 10^{-5}\ \text{M}.

  5. Calculate the total concentration of \ceOH−\ce{OH-}

    Total [\ce{OH-}] = [\ce{OH-}]_{\text{NaOH}} + [\ce{OH-}]_{\text{from CO3^2-}}
    Total [\ceOH−]=0.125 M+6.739×10−5 M[\ce{OH-}] = 0.125\ \text{M} + 6.739 \times 10^{-5}\ \text{M}
    Total [\ceOH−]=0.12506739 M[\ce{OH-}] = 0.12506739\ \text{M}

  6. Calculate pOH and pH

    pOH=−log⁡[Total \ceOH−]\text{pOH} = -\log[\text{Total } \ce{OH-}]
    pOH=−log⁡(0.12506739)\text{pOH} = -\log(0.12506739)
    pOH=0.9028\text{pOH} = 0.9028

    Finally, calculate the pH using the relationship pH+pOH=14.00\text{pH} + \text{pOH} = 14.00:
    pH=14.00−pOH\text{pH} = 14.00 - \text{pOH}
    pH=14.00−0.9028\text{pH} = 14.00 - 0.9028
    pH=13.0972\text{pH} = 13.0972

    Rounding to two decimal places, consistent with the precision of the given KaK_a value:
    pH=13.10\text{pH} = 13.10

    The final answer is 13.10.
