What information can be obtained from a titration curve of an acid, the curve of which showed three (3) inflection points. A. The acid is a weak polyprotic acid of the form H3A B. Each inflection point denotes the negative logarithm of the dissociation constant of each ionizable proton C. The weak acid can act as a buffer with a wide range of pH from the first inflection point to the last point with the highest pKa value. D. Both A and B E. All of these

When 40.00 mL of a weak monoprotic acid solution is titrated with 0.100-M NaOH, the equivalence point is reached when 35.00 mL base has been added. After 20.00 mL NaOH solution has been added, the titration mixture has a pH of 5.75. Calculate the ionization constant of the acid.
A buffer is prepared using the butyric acid/butyrate (HC4H7O2/C4H7O2)acid-base pair. The ratio of acid to base is 2.2 and Ka for butyric acid is1.54105. (a) What is the pH of this buffer? (b) Enough strong base is added to convert 15% of butyric acid to the butyrate ion. What is the pH of the resulting solution? (c) Strong acid is added to the buffer to increase its pH. What must the acid/base ratio be so that the pH increases by exactly one unit (e.g., from 2 to 3) from the answer in (a)?

Malonic acid (HO2CCH2CO2H) is a diprotic acid. In the titration of malonic acid w ith NaOH, stoichiometric points occur at pH = 3.9 and 8.8. A 25.00-mL sample of malonic acid of unknown concentration is titrated with 0.0984 M NaOH, requiring 31.50 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the concentration of the initial malonic acid solution. (Sec Exercise 113.)
