pKa of the acid = 4.2

Amount of the base required for neutralization = 20 mL

so,

a)let the amount of dissociation be x.so,

6.3*10^-5 = x^2/(0.283-x)

or x=0.00419

so pH=2.377

b)a buffer solution will be formed.

so, ph=pKa+log(salt/acid)

=4.2 + log(10*0.283/(20*0.283-10*0.283))

=4.2

a buffer solution will be formed.

so, ph=pKa+log(salt/acid)

=4.2 + log(15*0.283/(20*0.283-15*0.283))

=4.677

a buffer solution will be formed.

so, ph=pKa+log(salt/acid)

=4.2 + log(19*0.283/(20*0.283-19*0.283))

=5.478

a buffer solution will be formed.

so, ph=pKa+log(salt/acid)

=4.2 + log(19,95*0.283/(20*0.283-19.95*0.283))

=6.8

f)concentration of the salt formed = 0.283/2

=0.1415

so,

since this is a salt of a weak acid and a strong base,

pH=7 + 0.5pKa+0.5*log(C)

=7+0.5*4.2 + 0.5*log(0.1415)

=8.675

g) there is excess of base present.

[OH-]=0.05*0.285/(20+20.05)

=3.55*10^-4

so pH=10.55

there is excess of base present.

[OH-]=5*0.285/(20+25)

=0.031667

so pH=12.5
