Q4) Two weak monobasic organic acids HA and HB have dissociation
constants as 1.5 10–5 and 1.8 10–5 respectively at 25°C. If 500 ml of 1
M solutions of each of these two acids are mixed to produce 1 litre of
mixed solution, what is the pH of the resulting solution?
Sol. (2.4)
Note that Ka of two acids is nearly same. In such cases, we have to consider H+ from both HA
& HB simultaneously. The concentration of HA & HB in the mixture = 0.5 M [equal volumes
are mixed ] = say ‘c’
HA H+ + A–
HB H+ + B–
Let x = [H+] from HA and Y = [H+] from HB
[H+]final = x + y
KHA = & KHB =
6x = 5y
Substitute for y = x in KHA =
1.5 10–5 =
x = 1.84 10–3; y = 2.21 10–3
[H+] = x + y = 4.055 10–3
pH = – log10 (4.055 10–3) pH = 2.4

Q6) 12.5 mL solution of 0.5 M H3XO4 is titrated with 0.5 M NaOH. Calculate
pH at the following stages.

b) When 2nd step neutralization is complete
c) When 3rd step neutralization is complete
K1, K2 and K3 for H3XO4 are 1 10–4, 2.0 10–7 and 4.0 10–11
respectively.

Q7) The ionisation constant of NH4+ ion in water 5.6 10–10 at 25C. The rate

water to NH3

Q8) Determine the mass of NH4Cl and volume of 1.0 M NaOH required for
preparing a 250 ml buffer solution of pH=9.5 with concentration of NH4+
in solution to be 0.1 M (Given: Kb of NH4OH = 2×10-5)
Ans – (Approx. 3.5 g and 40 ml)
Q9) Calculate the amount of NH3 and NH4Cl required to prepare a buffer
solution of pH 9.0, when total concentration of buffering reagents is 0.6
mol L–1. What will be the effect of adding 2g NaOH in 500 mL of this
buffer, on pH? (Given: pKb for NH3 = 4.7)
Q10) An aqueous solution of metal bromide MBr2 (0.05M) in saturated with
H2S. What is the minimum pH at which MS will ppt.?
