3 4 2 4 2 H PO OH H PO H O Initial: 0.1 mole x mole Later: (0.1 – x)mole 0 x mole Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation IONIC EQUILIBRIUM 64 2 4 a 3 4 3 H PO pH pK log H PO x pH log 6.67 10 log 0.1 x >> x Since, volume of 2 4 H POand 3 4 H PO will be same Thus 2 4 3 4 H PO log H PO can be written as 2 4 3 4 mole of log mole of H PO H PO Thus, x 2 2.17 log 0.1 x x 0.17 log 0.1 x x 0.676 0.1 x 0.0676 0.676x x x 0.04mole >> >> >> >> Thus, moles of NaOH to be added is 0.04 moles. Thus, volume of
