Chemistry

In order to better understand one of the most important buffersystems in our body (the carbonic acid buffer system), you aretitrating 0.100 L of 0.100 M carbonic acid (shown below) with 0.500M NaOH.

What will the pH be when 23.0 mL of NaOH have been added? Pleasegive your answer to three decimal places.

pka 1: 6.05 pka2: 10.64

moles of carbonic acid = 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01

moles of NaOH = 0.5 x 23 / 1000 = 0.0115

pKa2 = 10.64

H2CO3 + OH- -----------------> HCO3- + H2O

0.01          0.0115                        0              0

   0             0.0015                       0.01          0.01

HCO3- + OH-   ----------------> CO32- + H2O

0.01        0.0015                            0            0

0.0085        0                                0.0015     0

here salt and acid remianed. so

pH = pKa2 + log [salt / acid]

     = 10.64 + log [0.0015 / 0.0085]

     = 9.887

pH = 9.887
