Chapter 10, Problem 10.97AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For titration in problem 10.94 $\text{pH}$ of solution obtained at equivalence point should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Titration: It is a quantitative analysis method used to express the concentration of acid or base present in the solution.

Reaction between Acid and Base: When an acid reacts with the base $H^{+}$ from acid and ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ from base are neutralized that result in formation of salt and water.

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Acids}$: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry acid}\text{.}$

Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.

Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Base}$: If a species receives one proton, then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry base}\text{.}$

Strong Base: Bases that has strong attraction towards protons and accepts readily. Strong base forms weaker conjugated acid.

Weak Base: Bases that has little affinity towards protons. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
