Another way to treat data from a pH titration is to graph the absolute value of the change in pH per change in milliliters added versus milliliters added (pH/mL versus mL added). Make this graph using your results from Exercise 61. What advantage might this method have over the traditional method for treating titration data?
. Which component of a buffered solution is capable of combining with an added strong acid? Using your example from Exercise 60, show how this component would react with added HC1.
A bottle of concentrated hydroiodic acid is 57% HI by weight and has a density of 1.70 g/mL. A solution of this strong and corrosive acid is made by adding exactly 10.0 mL to some water and diluting to 250.0 mL. If the information on the label is correct, what volume of 0.988 M NaOH is needed to neutralize the HI solution? Suggest an indicator for the titration.
Sketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.
Consider the nanoscale-level representations for Question 111 of the titration of the aqueous strong acid HA with aqueous NaOH, the titrant. Water molecules and Na+ ions are omitted for clarity. Which diagram corresponds to the situation: (a) After a very small volume of titrant has been added to the initial HA solution? (b) Halfway to the equivalence point? (c) When enough titrant has been added to take the solution just past the equivalence point? (d) At the equivalence point? Nanoscale representations for Question 111.
A diprotic acid, H2B(MM=126g/moL), is determined to be a hydrate, H2B xH2O. A 10.00-g sample of this hydrate is dissolved in enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. Twenty-five milliliters of this solution requires 48.5 mL of 0.425 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. What is x?
A friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?
A solution is made by diluting 25.0 mL of concentrated HCl (37% by weight; density = 1.19 g/mL) to exactly 500 mL. Calculate the pH of the resulting solution.
