6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
hard
$50\ ml$ of $0.02\ M$ $NaHSO_4$ is mixed with $50$ $ml$ of $0.02\ M\ Na_2SO_4$. Calculate $pH$ of the resulting solution.$[pKa_2 (H_2SO_4) = 2]$
A
$2$
B
$2 - \,\log \,\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right) - 1$
C
$2 + \,\log \,\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right) + 1$
D
$1.7$
Solution
$\mathop {\mathop {HSO_4^ – }\limits_{0.01} }\limits_{0.01(1 – \alpha )} \xrightarrow{{{{10}^{ – 2}}}}\mathop {\mathop {{H^ + }}\limits_{} }\limits_{0.01\alpha } + \mathop {\mathop {SO_4^{ – – }}\limits_{0.01} }\limits_{0.01 + 0.01\alpha } $
$10^{-2}=\frac{0.01 \alpha \times 0.01(1+\alpha)}{0.01(1-\alpha)}$
$(1-\alpha)=\alpha^{2}+\alpha$
$\alpha^{2}+2 \alpha-1=0$
$\alpha=\frac{-2+\sqrt{4+4}}{2}$
$=(-1+\sqrt{2})$
$\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)=(\sqrt{2}-1) \times 10^{-2}$
$\mathrm{pH}=2-\log (\sqrt{2}-1)$
