Question
An analytical chemist is titrating 144.6 mL of a 0.6600 M solution of benzoic acid (HC H,CO,) with a 0.8400 M solution of KOH.
The p K, of benzoic acid is 4.20. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 54.06 mL of the KOH
solution to it.
Note for advanced students: you may assume the final volume equals the initial volume of the solution plus the volume of
KOH solution added.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
