The number of mole of HCl needed for the solution is 1.035×10¯³ mole
We'll begin by calculating the pKa of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:
pKa = –Log Ka
pKa = –Log 2.3×10¯⁵
pKa = 4.64
pH = pKa + Log[salt]/[acid]
6.5 = 4.64 + Log[0.5]/[HCl]
Collect like terms
6.5 – 4.64 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]
1.86 = Log[0.5]/[HCl]
Take the anti-log
0.5 / [HCl] = anti-log 1.86
0.5 / [HCl] = 72.44
Cross multiply
0.5 = [HCl] × 72.44
Divide both side by 72.44
[HCl] = 0.5 / 72.4
[HCl] = 0.0069 M
Mole = Molarity x Volume
Mole of HCl = 0.0069 × 0.15
Mole of HCl = 1.035×10¯³ mole
How many moles of HCl need to be added to 150.0 mL of 0.50 M NaZ to have a solution with a pH of 6.50? (Ka of HZ is 2.3 x 10 -5 .) Assume negligible volume of the HCl
