Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Process that involves during the determination of the concentration of an acid using an acid–base titration has to be identified from the given options.
Concept-Introduction:
Acid–base titration: It consists of a neutralization reaction where a measured volume of a known concentrated an acid or a base is used for determining the concentration of an unknown solution of base or acid with known volume. The known concentrated solution is called the titrant, while the unknown concentrated solution is called the analyte.
Acid–base indicator: It is a compound used to identify the endpoint in an acid–base titration. Depending on the pH of a solution, these compounds exhibit different colors. Generally, an indicator has a particular color in an acidic solution and another color in basic solution.

- The components of poison ivy and poison oak that produce the characteristic itchy rash are catechols substituted with long-chain alkylgroups. If you were exposed to poison ivy, which of the treatments below would you apply to the affected area? Justify your choice.(a) Wash the area with cold water.(b) Wash the area with dilute vinegar or lemon juice.(c) Wash the area with soap and water.(d) Wash the area with soap, water, and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).arrow_forwardA solution at pH 7 is considered neutral because (a) its hydrogen ion concentration is 0 mol/L (b) its hydroxide ion concentration is 0 mol/L (c) the product of its hydrogen ion concentration and its hydroxide ion concentration is 0 mol/L (d) its hydrogen ion concentration is equal to its hydroxide ion concentration (e) it is nonpolararrow_forwardA homogeneous mixture consists of 12% ethanol, 28% methanol and 60% water. Which of these is the solvent for the mixture? A) ethanol B) methanol C) water D) Ethanol and Methanolarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true? a. Acids and bases cannot mix together. b. Acids and bases will neutralize each other. c. Acids, but not bases, can change the pH of a solution. d. Acids donate hydroxide ions (OH–); bases donate hydrogen ions (H+).arrow_forwardwhich of the following is a characteristic of a buffer? a. The pH will go down significantly when H3O+ is added to the buffer b. The pH will go down very slightly when H3O+ is added to the buffer c. The pH will go up significantly when H3O+ is added to the bufferarrow_forwardIf a less concentrated initial solution of socium bicarbonate was used in beaker C, would that solution require more or less bicarbonate to neutralize the acid? Why?arrow_forward
