Let's call the acid HP.
a.
.......HP ==> H^+ + P^-
I.....0.2M....0.....0
C......-x.....x.....x
E....0.2-x....x.....x
Plug the E line into the Ka expression and solve for x = (H^+), then convert to pH.
b is done with the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
c is the equivalence point and the rxn is HP + NaOH ==> NaP + H2O
The pH is determined by the hydrolysis of the salt NaP. The concentration of the salt is mols NaP/L. mols NaP = M x L = 0.2 x 0.025 = 0.005. L = 50 mL from the beginning + 50 mL added NaOH = 75 mL = 0.075 L so M NaP = 0.005/0.075 - 0.0667. The hydrolysis works this way.
.........P^- + HOH ==> HP + OH^-
I.....0.0667...........0.....0
C......-x..............x.....x
E....0.0667-x..........x.....x
Kb for P^- = (Kw/Ka for HP)
= (x)(x)/(0.0667-x). Solve for x = (OH^-) and convert to pH.
D. You have excess OH^-. Calculate that and convert to pH.
