A titration involves adding a reactant of known quantity to a
solution of an another reactant while monitoring the equilibrium
concentrations. This allows one to determine the concentration of
the second reactant. The equation for the reaction of a generic
weak acid HA with a strong base is HA(aq)+OH−(aq)→A−(aq)+H2O(l) A
certain weak acid, HA, with a Ka value of 5.61×10−6, is titrated
with NaOH. A solution is made by titrating 9.00 mmol (millimoles)
of HA and 1.00 mmol of the strong base. What is the resulting pH?
More strong base is added until the equivalence point is reached.
What is the pH of this solution at the equivalence point if the
total volume is 59.0 mL ?
