A weak acid HY ( Ka = 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ ) is mixed with 0.01 M NaOH in a 2:1 volume ratio (acid:base). If the final [HY] = 0.04

Let volumes be 2V and V, total volume = 3V. Moles: HY = 0.04 × 3V , initial [HY] = 0.06 M , moles NaOH = 0.01V , [Y-] = (0.01V/3V) = 0.00333 M , remaining [HY] = 0.04 . pH = 4.7 + log (0.00333/0.04) = 4.7 - 1.08 = 3.62 .

A weak acid HZ ( Ka = 3.2 × 10⁻⁵ ) is mixed with 0.02 M NaOH in a 3:1 volume ratio (acid:base). If the final [HZ] = 0.06

Total volume = 4V, HZ initial = 0.06 × 4V = 0.08 M × 3V , NaOH = 0.02V , [Z-] = (0.02V/4V) = 0.005 M . pH = 4.5 + log (0.005/0.06) = 4.5 - 1.08 = 3.42 .

A weak acid HX ( Ka = 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ ) and its salt NaX are mixed in equal volumes of 0.2 M and 0.1 M solutions, respectivel

After mixing: [HX] = (0.2/2) = 0.1 M , [X-] = (0.1/2) = 0.05 M . pH = pKa + log ([X-]/[HX]) = 5 + log (0.05/0.1) = 5 - 0.301 = 4.7 .
