1. A good indicator will have a(n)____ close to this volume and pH.
I think it's endpoint but it's wrong.
2. (part a) What is the pH of the solution created by combining 1.70 mL of the 0.10 M NaOH(aq) with 8.00 mL of the 0.10 M HCl(aq)? with 8.00 mL of the 0.10 M HC2H3O2(aq)?
2 (part b)What are the pH values if you take into account that the 8.00 mL of 0.10 M Acid was first diluted with 100 mL of water?
---
my work so far:
(1.7e-3 L)(0.10 M)= 1.7e-4 mol NaOH
(8e-3 L)(0.10 M)=8e-4 mol HCl
(8e-4 mol Hcl)-(1.7e -4 mol NaOH)=6.3e-4
I don't know what to do next.
I did this last night for another and for different numbers. Let me try to find that and post it here. That will keep me from working it again. Actually you have two problems; i.e., one with NaOH and HCl and the other with acetic acid and NaOH. The second one is a buffer problem. I'll look for the other post I did last night.

Let me know if you still have problems.
total volume=9.7e-4L
.........HCl + NaOH ==> H2O + NaCl
initial.8e-4....0........0......0
add...........1.7e-4................
change -1.7e-4 -1.7e-4 +1.7e-4 +1.7e-4
equil..6.3e-4...o......1.7e-4..1.7e-4
HCl:(6.3e-4 mol)/(9.7e-4 L)=0.6495 M
and for pH I got 0.187 but it's wrong.
I got the second part with acetic acid right though
also for 2. (part b) I found through M1V1=M2V2 that M2=8e-3 M acid. Then I did this: (8e-3 L)(8e-3M)=6.4e-5 mol acid. Next, I did the ICE table again and subtracted 1.7e-4 from 6.4e-5, and got -1.06e-4. I think I'm doing this wrong.
Sine you have part 2 I'll not go with that but here is part 1.
I don't like mols for these small numbers because of all of those zeros that go with it. I THINK you 0.6495 should be 0.06495 but here is how to do it.
1.70 mL x 0.1 M = 0.17 millimols NaOH
8.00 mL x 0.1 M = 0.8 mmolsl HCl
0.8 mmHCl - 0.17 mmols NaOH = 0.63 mmols HCl in excess (all of the NaOH is consumed). volume 1.7 mL + 8.00 mL = 9.70 mL.
So (HCl) = 0.63 mmol/9.7 mL = 0.06495 M for which the pH is 1.187 which should be rounded to fit the problem. One problem with using moles with small numbers like this is that it's easy to lose or pick up an extra zero along the route.
Thanks, I understand the first part now but I keep getting the dilution part wrong.
Frankly, I don't understand the dilution part. I'm assuming that it means you take 8.00 mL of the 0.1M acid, dilute that to 100 mL, then add ALL OF IT to the base. If that is the right meaning, here is how it's done.
1.70 mL x 0.1 M NaOH = 0.17 millimoles.
8.00 mL x 0.1 M HCl = 0.80 mmols HCl
total volume = 1.70 + 100 = 101.7 mL.
Now (HCl) = 0.63 mmols/101.7 mL = 0.00619 and pH = 2.2 which is about a tenth of the first value.
For the acetic acid.
1.70 x 0.1 M NaOH = 0.17 mmols.
8.00 x 0.1 M HAc = 0.8 mmols HAc
total volume = 1.7 + 100 = 101.7
(HAc) = 0.63/101.7 = 0.00619 M
(NaAc) = 0.17/101.7 = 0.00167 M
pH = pKa + log (NaAc)/(HAc)
pH = 4.74 + log (0.00167/0.00619)
pH = 4.74 - 0.57 = 4.17.
If this is the right way to interpret the problem, then note that the addition to the strong acid/strong base mixture (not a buffered solution) caused a change in H^+ by a factor of 10 (0.06 to 0.006 or pH about 1.2 to 2.2) BUT the added water to the acetic acid/NaAc final mixture (a buffered solution) didn't changed the pH at all (from 4.17 to 4.17 if you used the same Ka I used). I think the lesson here is to see the difference in how dilution with about 92 mL water didn't change the pH at all for a buffered solution but changed significantly for an un-buffered solution).
I see what I was doing wrong now. Thank you very much!
To find the pH of the solution, you need to consider the reaction between the acid and the base and determine the resulting concentration of H+ ions in the solution. Here's how you can proceed:
1. Calculate the moles of H+ ions and OH- ions produced from the reaction between NaOH and HCl:
- You already calculated the moles of NaOH and HCl in your work: 1.7e-4 mol NaOH and 8e-4 mol HCl.
- The reaction between NaOH and HCl is a neutralization reaction, which produces water (H2O) and a salt. Since the concentration of both the acid and base is the same, the reaction will go to completion, and there will be no excess H+ or OH- ions. Thus, all the moles of HCl and NaOH will react.
- The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)
- From the balanced equation, you can see that for every mole of NaOH, one mole of HCl is consumed. Therefore, the number of moles of H+ ions produced will be equal to the number of moles of NaOH initially present: 1.7e-4 mol H+
2. Calculate the new concentration of H+ ions after diluting the acid with water:
- In part (b), 8.00 mL of the 0.10 M acid was diluted with 100 mL of water.
- To determine the final concentration, you need to consider the dilution equation:
M1V1 = M2V2
- M1 is the initial concentration of the acid (0.10 M), V1 is the initial volume of the acid (8.00 mL), M2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume after dilution. Since the final volume is 100 mL after adding water, V2 = 100 mL.
- Plugging in the values, you get: (0.10 M)(8.00 mL) = M2(100 mL)
- Solving for M2 gives: M2 = (0.10 M)(8.00 mL) / 100 mL
- Calculate M2, which is the final concentration after dilution.
3. Calculate the pH using the concentration of H+ ions:
- The pH is defined as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the concentration of H+ ions.
- Take the log base 10 of the concentration you found in step 1 or step 2, depending on which part of the question you're solving.
- Calculate the pH using the formula: pH = -log[H+]
Remember to account for appropriate significant figures and rounding in your final answer.
