4. Calculate the pH of 10.0 mL of a 0.25 M weak-base, nicotine (C10H14N2), solution
upon titration with the following increments of a 0.15 M strong-acid, HCl: (20 pts)
Ka = 1.0 x 10-8
Weak Base: 0.010 L x 0.25 mol/L = 0.0025 mol base

b) 10.00 mL of acid (Before equivalence point)
0.010 L x 0.150 mol/L = 0.0015 mol acid = [HA]
0.0025 mol base – 0.0015 mol acid = 0.0010 mol base remains = [A-]
Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
b) 16.67 mL of acid (at equivalence point)
0.01667 L x 0.15 mol/L = 0.0025 mol acid ÷ 0.02667 L = 9.37 x 10-2 M = [HA]

5. Calculate the pH of a solution containing 0.15 M HC2H3O2, acetic acid, and 0.25 M
NaC2H3O2, sodium acetate. Under these conditions, would this solution act as a buffer?
Clearly state the buffer zone for this weak acid. (10 pts)
Ka = 1.8 x 10-5
pKa = -log(1.8 x 10-5) = 4.74
Buffer zone = 3.74 – 5.74
Yes, this mixture would result in a buffer solution.

7. A solution containing the following indicator, with a Ka of 0.02, turns orange at the
equivalence point of a titration. Determine the range of pH values this indicator would be
useful. Could this indicator be useful for a weak base-strong acid titration? Clearly state
why or why not? (10 pts)
HIn ⇄ H+ + In(Red)
(Yellow)
pKa = -log(0.02) =1.7
Appropriate Indicator range = 0.7 -2.7 = buffer zone for the indicator
For a weak base:
HA ⇄ H+ + A-
at the equivalence point
The equivalence point would be below 7, thus this is an appropriate indicator for a weak
base-strong acid titration.

8. For the following reactions, predict whether a decrease in temperature would be
favorable or unfavorable. (10 pts)
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
(∆G < 0 is favorable)
a) 2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
+∆S unfavorable
b) PCl3(l) + Cl2(g) → PCl5(s)

10. Predict if a precipitate will form from when 125 mL of 0.375 M Ca(NO3)2 is mixed
with 245 mL of 0.255 M NaF. Show all work to receive full credit. The Ksp for CaF2 is
3.2 x 10-11 (10 pts)
Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaF(aq) → CaF2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
CaF2(s) ⇄ Ca+2(aq) + 2F-(aq)
Qsp = [Ca+2][F-]2 = (1.27 x 10-1)(1.62 x 10-1)2 = 3.33 x 10-3
Qsp (3.33 x 10-3) > Ksp (1.9 x 10-10) ; therefore a precipitation will form.
Supersaturated
11. (Extra Credit) Predict the effect on the solubility (if any) for the following reaction
upon addition of a base. (5 pts)
Ca(OH)2(s) ⇄ Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
Addition of a base would add excess hydroxide to the products. The system will shift the
equilibrium towards the reactants (shift to the left) in order to accommodate this change.
