Chronologically answer the following questions.

1. Determine the pH at the following points in the titration of 10 mL of 0.1 M HBr with 0.1 M KOH
when at (a) 5mL; (b) 10mL and (c) 15mL.
a. 5mL
HBr −> (10mL)(0.1) = 1mmol H+
KOH −> (5mL)(0.1) = 0.5mmol OH−
Total Volume = 10mL + 5mL = 15mL 0.5mmol H+
5 mmol H+
[H+ ] = 15mL
= 0.33M
pH = − log(0.33M) = 0.48
b. 10mL
HBr −> (10mL)(0.1) = 1mmol H+
KOH −> (10mL)(0.1) = 1mmol OH−
Total Volume = 10mL + 10mL = 20mL 0 mmol H+
[OH−] = [H+ ] (equivalence point)
pH = 7
c. 15mL
HBr −> (10mL)(0.1) = 1mmol H+
KOH −> (15mL)(0.1) = 1.5mmol OH−
Total Volume = 10mL + 15mL = 25mL 0.5mmol OH-
0.5 mmol OH−
[OH−] = 25mL
= 0.02M
pOH = − log(0.02M) = 1.70
pH = 14.00 − pOH = 14.00 − 1.70 = 12.3

2. Determine the concentration (in molarity) of 25mL of H2SO4 that was neutralized by 30mL of 0.25M
NaOH.

3. Determine the concentration (in molarity) of 25mL of Ba(OH)2 that was neutralized by 55mL of
0.150M HCl.

4. Select/choose an appropriate chemical indicator for the following titration set-up and explain why
you chose that indicator:

a. weak acid + strong base if pH at equivalence pt = 9

Phenolphthalein
the equivalence point is well within the pH range of phenolphthalein therefore the
color will change almost directly at the equivalence point.
b. Weak base + strong acid if pH at equivalence pt = 5
Methyl Red
The equivalence point is just at the point where the color changes from red to yellow,
making it the appropriate indicator
c. Strong acid + strong base if pH at equivalence pt = 7
Bromothymol Blue
This indicator changes between yellow to blue at the equivalance point, it is therefore
the appropriate indicator.

5. Calculate the pH when the following quantities of 0.100 M HNO3 have been added to 25.0 mL of
0.100 M KOH solution: (a) 22 mL and (b) 26 mL.
a. 22mL
0.100 mol H+
mol H+ = (0.022 L soln)( ) = 0.0022 mol H+
1L soln

0.100 mol OH−

mol OH− = (0.025 L soln)( ) = 0.0025 mol OH−
