Solution Summary

A detailed solution showing how the concentration of weak acid, HA at equilibrium is computed after addition of a certain amount of strong base, NaOH. The corresponding amounts of acid and base is accounted for during neutralization reaction in order to determine the amount remaining at equilibrium.

Answer:
HA will react with OH- from NaOH in the following reaction:
HA + OH- → A- + H2O
Initial mmol 6.475 8.512 ----
Change -6.475 -6.475 +6.475
mmol at Equilibrium ------- 2.037 6.475
concentration 0.0206 0.065
