HA

Is this method used for Excess HA or OH- in the reaction of a weak acid and strong base?
1) Calculate moles HA (it is still HA and not H+ as it is a weak acid)
2) Calculate moles OH-
3) Calculate moles XS HA or OH
4) Calculate moles HA left and A formed
5

OH-

Is this method used for Excess HA or OH- in the reaction of a weak acid and strong base?
1) Calculate moles HA (it is still HA and not H+ as it is a weak acid)
2) Calculate moles OH-
3) Calculate moles XS HA or OH
4) Calculate [OH-]
5) Use Kw to find [H+]
