Question

Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, dissociates in water as shown in the equation below.  A 40.0 mL sample of an aqueous solution of benzoic acid with a concentration of 0.50 M is titrated using standardized 0.25 M NaOH.

C6H5COOH(s) C6H5COO–(aq) + H+(aqKa = 6.46 x 10–5

a.Calculate the pH of the solution after the following amounts of NaOH have been added…

    1. 0 mL 
    2. 10 mL 
    3. 85 mL 

 

b. State whether the solution at the equivalence point of the titration is acidic, basic, or neutral. Explain your reasoning.

 

c. How many mL of 0.25 M NaOH need to be added in order to make the ideal buffer solution?
