You have 10 mols of Na
+-OH
You have 5 mols of COOH.
The 5 mols of COOH react with 5 mols of Na
+-OH
You now have 5 mols of sodium carboxylate, 5 mols of H
20, and 5 mols of Na
+-OH
what is the pH of this solution?
I figured you took the -log(
-OH) ion concentration and added it to the pKw of 7 to give your above 7 pH
but also the sodium carboxylate is weakly basic as well. Do you take the inverse log of all your sodium salts and add them to the pKw 7?
10NaOH + 5COOH
5NaCOO + 5H
2O + 5NaOH
