A student is given 3 beakers:
Beaker 1- 50.0 ml of a solution produced by dissolving 6.00
grams of a weak
monoprotic acid ,HX, in enough water to produce 1 liter of
solution.
The empirical formula of HX is CH
O. The solution contains 3 drops
of phenolphthalein.
Beaker 2- A 0.07M solution of the salt NaX. It has a pH of 8.8
Beaker 3 - 50.0 ml of 0.250M KOH
The contents of beaker 3 is added drop-wise to beaker 1 until a pink color appears and remains for 30 seconds. This takes exactly 20.0 ml of the beaker 3 solution. Identify X and calculate the pH of beaker 1 after the addition of the 20 ml.
X is the acetate ion but I'm unsure of how to calculate the pH of beaker 1 after 20 mL of solution 3 has been added.
