Which one of the following conditions is always true for a titration of a weak acid with a strong base? Select one: O a. Equal volumes of weak acid and strong base are required to reach the equivalence point. O b. If a colored indicator is used, it must change color rapidly in the weak acid's buffer region. O c. A colored indicator with a pKa less than 7 should be used. O d. The equivalence point occurs at a pH greater than 7.

Consider the following pH curves for 100.0 mL of two different acids with the same initial concentration each titrated by 0.10 M NaOH. a. Which plot represents a pH curve of a weak acid, and which plot is for a strong acid? How can you tell? Cite three differences between the plots that help you decide. b. In both cases the pH is relatively constant before the pH changes greatly. Does this mean that at some point in each titration each solution was a buffered solution? c. True or false? The equivalence point volume for each titration is the same. Explain your answer. d. True or false? The pH at the equivalence point for each titration is the same. Explain your answer.
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.)
A buffer is composed of formic acid and its conjugate base, the formate ion. (a) What is the pH of a solution that has a formic acid concentration of 0.050 M and a sodium formate concentration of 0.035 M? (b) What must the ratio of acid to conjugate base be to have a pH value 0.50 units higher than the value calculated in part (a)?
Repeat the procedure in Exercise 61, but for the titration of 25.0 mL of 0.100 M NH3 (Kb = 1.8 105) with 0.100 M HCl.
Sketch two pH curves, one for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base and one for a strong acid with a strong base. How are they similar? How are they different? Account for the similarities and the differences.
Draw the general titration curve for a strong acid titrated by a strong base. At the various points in the titration, list the major species present before any reaction takes place and the major species present after any reaction takes place. What reaction takes place in a strong acidstrong base titration? How do you calculate the pH at the various points along the curve? What is the pH at the equivalence point for a strong acidstrong base titration? Why?
