(a)
Interpretation:
The molar mass of Uric acid needs to be determined which is prepared using 4.00 g and titrated with 0.73 M KOH solution for which 32.62 mL was consumed to reach the equivalence point at pH of 4.12.
Concept Introduction :
Titration is done between one known and another unknown concentration of the substance to determine the qualitative information of the unknown. The analyte or titrant is the solution of unknown molarity and titrant is the known concentration of the solution that reacts with analyte. Usually, an indicator is added to indicate the endpoint of the equivalence point.
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of Ka of Uric acid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
The acid-base indicators are weak acids and bases and it changes color when there is a change in pH. It is used to indicate the degree of acidity or basicity. At a pH, indicators font change color but works within a specific range of pH.

- . A buffered solution is prepared containing acetic acid, HC2H3O2, and sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2, both at 0.5 M. Write a chemical equation showing how this buffered solution would resist a decrease in its pH if a few drops of aqueous strong acid HCI solution were added to it. Write a chemical equation showing how this buffered solution would resist an increase in its pH if a few drops of aqueous strong base NaOH solution were added to it.arrow_forwardA solution of weak base is titrated to the equivalence point with a strong acid. Which one of the following statements is most likely to be correct? a The pH of the solution at the equivalence point is 7.0. b The pH of the solution is greater than 13.0. c The pH of the solution is less than 2.0. d The pH of the solution is between 2.0 and 7.0. e The pH of the solution is between 7.0 and 13.0. The reason that best supports my choosing the answer above is a Whenever a solution is titrated with a strong acid, the solution will be very acidic. b Because the solution contains a weak base and the acid (titrant) is used up at the equivalence point, the solution will be basic. c Because the solution contains the conjugate acid of the weak base at the equivalence point, the solution will be acidic.arrow_forwardTwo samples of 1.00 M HCl of equivalent volumes are prepared.
