A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 19.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 0.000300 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 12.1 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the titration.
The problem is based on the concept of the pH of an acid can be calculated by titrating it against a base of known concentration as the gastric juice in human stomach is acidic in nature because it contains .
The principle of titration is that number of moles of acid react with equal number of moles of base.
…… (1)
The pH of an acidic solution is
…… (2)
Here, is concentration of hydrogen ion.
Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute distributed in per litre of a solution.
…… (3)
Here is the number of moles and is the volume of the solution in liters.
Number of moles in a solution is the product of molarity (M) and volume of the solution (V). Rearranging equation (3) this equation is obtained.
…… (4)
Molarity of solution is and the volume of used is 12.1 mL
Number of moles of KOH can be determined from equation (2).
Substitute, for and for in equation (2).
Number of moles of will be equal to the number of moles of
Substitute the value of in the above expression.
Molarity of can be calculated from equation (3).
Substitute for and 19.00 mL for to the above expression.
Concentration of is equal to concentration of ions.
Substitute for .
The pH of the solution can be calculated from the equation (2).
Substitute, for in equation (2).
Ans:
The pH of the gastric juice is .
