Answer:
The pH at equivalence is 5.24 .
Explanation:
Let us calculate -
millimoles of aniline = 160 x 0.3403 = 54.448
To reach equivalence , 54.448 millimoles HNO3 must be added,
[tex]54.448 = V \times0.0501[/tex]
V = 1086.79 mL HNO3 must be added
total volume = 1086.79 + 160 = 1246.79 mL
Concentration of [salt] = [tex]\frac{54.448}{1246.79}[/tex] = 0.044 M
Now, at the equivalence or equivalent point ,
[tex]p(OH)=\frac{1}{2} [pKw+pKb+logC][/tex]
[tex]p(OH)=\frac{1}{2} [14+4.87+log0.044][/tex]
[tex]p(OH)=8.76[/tex]
[tex]pH= 14-8.76[/tex]
By solving the above equation , we get -
pH = 5.24
Hence , the answer is 5.24
