Final pH of a Mixture of Acetic Acid, Alum, and NaOH
Not what you're looking for?
A 1 liter solution of a mild acetic acid and water exhibits a pH of 4.0 --- the molar concentration of the acetic acid is unknown but is presumed to be 1x10^-4M; to this solution is added 100 grams of NaOH that has a pH of 12.0; then, 51 grams of aluminum sulfate hydrate (Al2(SO4)3-14H2O) with a pH of 3.5 is added to the solution; what is the final pH of the solution mixture (assuming equilibrium)and why?
