Question

Using the experimental data at 1/2 the equivalence point volume, calculate the Ka of acetic acid.

Volume of NaOH at Equivalence point for HCl Trial = 5.083ml

Equivalence point pH for HCl Trial = 6.57

pH 1/2 Equivalence point for HCl Trial = 3.285

 

Volume of NaOH at Equivalence point for HC2H3O2 Trial= 4.025ml

Equivalence point pH for HC2H3O2 Trial = 4.13

pH 1/2 Equivalence point for HC2H3O2 Trial = 2.065

Expert Solution
Step 1
