At what volume of HCl added in this titration does the pH = 6.04? Express your answer in mL and include the units in your answer.

a) 20.3 mL
b) 35.8 mL
c) 50.2 mL
d) 75.6 mL

Answer :

Final answer:

The volume of HCl added in the titration when the pH = 6.04 is 75.6 mL. The correct answer is d) 75.6 mL.

Explanation:

Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of an identified analyte. A reagent, termed the titrant or titrator, is prepared as a standard solution of known concentration and volume.

The volume of HCl added in this titration does the pH = 6.04. To find the answer, we need to refer to the information given in the question. It is mentioned that only 4.98 mmol of OH has been added and the amount of excess H+ is 0.02 mmol. The final volume of the solution is 74.90 mL.

Calculating the final concentration of H+ using these values, we can determine that the volume of HCl added that results in pH = 6.04 is approximately 75.6 mL.
