1. Calculate the change in pH that occurs when 0.50 mmol of a strong acid is added to
100.0 mL of a solution containing 0.0200 M of formic acid and 0.0800 M formate (pKa =
3.75).
2. A 20.0 mL aliquot of 0.0400 M HClO4 is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH. Find the
equivalence volume. Determine the pH at the following volumes of NaOH and plot the
titration curve: 0, 1.00, 3.00, 7.00, 7.50, 8.50, 8.70, 9.00, 11.00 mL.

3. Calculate the change in pH that occurs when 0.0500 M NaOH solution results in a
tenfold dilution of water.
4. Calculate the change in pH that occurs when a solution containing 0.0500 M NH3 and
0.0500 M NH4Cl results in a tenfold dilution of water (pKa = 9.25).
5. Calculate the pH after the addition of 15.00 mL of 0.100 M KOH in the titration with
50.00 mL of 0.100 M citric acid (pKa = 3.13)
6. Calculate the pH after the addition of 8.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl in the titration with
100.0 mL of 0.0200 M pyridine (pKb = 8.79)
7. A 50.0 mL of 0.0500 M acetic acid (pKa = 4.76) is titrated with 0.500 M KOH. Write
the balanced reaction equation and find the equivalence volume. Determine the pH at the
following volumes of KOH and plot the pH curve: 0, 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 4.70, 4.80, 4.90,
5.10, 5.20, 6.50 mL.
8. When 22.63 mL of aqueous NaOH was added to 1.214g of MES (FM = 195.24 g/mol,
pKa = 6.27) dissolved in 41.37 mL of water, the pH was 9.13. Calculate the molarity of
the NaOH solution.
10. Determine the pH of a solution made by mixing 50.00 mL of 0.0250 M Ca(OH)2 with
3.45 mL of 0.300 M HCl.
11. Would the indicator bromocresol green, with a transition range of pH 3.8 – 5.4, ever
be useful in the titration of a weak acid with a strong base? Why?
No. Titrating a weak acid with a strong base, the pH at equivalence point will be greater
than 7. An indicator whose transition range overlaps the equivalence point should be
chosen.
12. Find the pH of a solution obtained when 32.00 mL of 0.87 M ethanolamine (pKa =
9.50) is titrated to the equivalence point with 0.15 M HCl.
