What volume of water should be added to 65.0 mL of 0.0520 M KOH to produce a solution with a pH of 12.54?
pH = 12.54
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14-12.54
pOH = 1.46
[OH-] = 10^-1.46
[OH-] = 0.0347 M = C2
C1 = 0.0520 M
V1 = 65.0 mL
C1 V1 = C2 V2
0.0520 x 65 = 0.0520 x V2
V2 = 97.5 mL
total volume of the solution = 97.5 mL
volume of water added = V2 - V1
= 97.5 - 65.0
= 32.5 mL
volume of water added = 32.5 mL
