"Calculate the pH during the titration of 30.00 mL of 0.1000 M C3H7COOH(aq) with 0.1000 M LiOH(aq) after 29.9 mL of the base have been added. Ka of butanoic acid

pH = 7.29

Explanation:

Ka of butanoic acid is 1.54x10⁻⁵

To obtain the pH of the solution you must use H-H equation for butanoic acid:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [C₃H₇COO⁻] / [C₃H₇COOH]

Where pKa is defined as -log Ka = 4.81

Now, you need to find [C₃H₇COO⁻] and [C₃H₇COOH] concentrations (Also, you can find moles of each substance and replace them in the equation.

Butanoic acid reacts with LiOH, producing C₃H₇COO⁻, thus:

C₃H₇COOH + LiOH → C₃H₇COO⁻ + H₂O + Li⁺

Moles of both reactants, C₃H₇COOH and LiOH are:

C₃H₇COOH = 0.0300L ₓ (0.1000mol / L) = 0.003000moles of C₃H₇COOH

LiOH = 0.0299L ₓ (0.1000mol / L) = 0.00299 moles of LiOH.

That means moles of C₃H₇COO⁻ produced are 0.00299 moles.

And moles of C₃H₇COOH that remains in solution are:

0.00300 - 0.00299 = 0.00001 moles of C₃H₇COOH

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [C₃H₇COO⁻] / [C₃H₇COOH]

pH = 4.81 + log₁₀ [0.00299moles] / [0.00001moles]
