20.0mL of 0.100M acetic acid (pKa=4.74) is titrated with 0.100M NaOH. What volume of NaOH (in mL) has been added when the pH is 5.00? Use Henderson's equation; give the answer to one decimal.
Numerical answer type, answer in mL, tolerance 0.1.
Answer: 12.907049 mL
log([AX−]/[HA])=5.00−4.74=0.26, ratio =1.820. Fraction neutralised =r/(1+r)=0.6454, so V=20.0×0.6454=12.9mL.
