Consider the titration of HF (K a=6.7104) with NaOH. What is the pH when a third of the acid has been neutralized?
For a titration to be effective, the reaction must be rapid and the yield of the reaction must essentially be 100%. Is Kc > 1, < 1, or ≈ 1 for a titration reaction? Kc is the product of all reaction products (choose from: Multiplied by, added to, divided by, subtracted from) the product of the reactants, with all concentrations of reactants and products raised to their respective stoichiometric powers. As the titration proceeds, the amount of reactants (choose from: Increases, decreases, remains the same) and the amount of products (choose from: Increases, decreases, remains the same). Because the value of the numerator is (Choose from much greater than, much less than, approximately equal to) the value of the denominator, the value of Kc will be (Choose from much greater than, much less than, approximately equal to)1 for an effective titration reaction.
What are buffers in terms of acid-base equilibria, give an example, and can abuffer capacity be overwhelmed?
What is the effect of dilution on the pH of a buffer and the buffer’s capacity?
In terms of pH indicators, please fully explain what must occur in a solution to observe a colour change?
Define pH buffers and discuss the effect of dilution. Discuss the effect of addition of acids or bases to a buffer solution.
a buffer has been prepared using 0.1 moles of sodium acetate (NaAc) and 0.1 moles of acetic acid (HAc), which has been added to 100 ml of water. What is the pH of the solution?
You have two different concentrations of a buffer solution, 2.0 M and 0.20 M, to which 0.01 mol HCl has been added. Which of these solutions has the higher buffer capacity? In other words, which would be able to resist pH via the addition of acid longer?
What is the effect of dilution on the pH of a buffer and the buffer’s capacity? explain
Define the term selective precipitation?
A buffer solution is prepared from an unknown weak acid (HA) and its conjugate salt (NaA). If 500.00 ml of this buffer solution contains 0.025 moles of HA and 0.066 moles NaA, and has a measured pH of 4.61, what is the pKa of the unknown weak acid?
What is the proper unit of molar ratio of weak acid and its conjugate base in a buffer solution? Is it mol to mol or part to part? Or is it unitless? I need to express the answer 1.45/1 = [A]/[HA] to the right unit. See image for more details. the buffer is acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer.
