Sketch the titration curve for a weak base titrated by a strong acid. Weak base–strong acid titration problems also follow a two-step procedure. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong acid (HNO3, for example) reacts to completion with the weak base, B. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH < 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak base–strong acid titration? If pH = 6.0 at the halfway point to equivalence, what is the Kb value for the weak base titrated? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong base–strong acid titration and a weak base–strong acid titration.

- What is an acidbase indicator? Define the equivalence (stoichiometric) point and the end point of a titration. Why should you choose an indicator so that the two points coincide? Do the pH values of the two points have to be within 0.01 pH unit of each other? Explain.arrow_forwardConsider the nanoscale-level representations for Question 110 of the titration of the aqueous weak acid HX with aqueous NaOH, the titrant. Water molecules and Na+ ions are omitted for clarity. Which diagram corresponds to the situation: After a very small volume of titrant has been added to the initial HX solution? When enough titrant has been added to take the solution just past the equivalence point? Halfway to the equivalence point? At the equivalence point? Nanoscale representations for Question 110.arrow_forwardSketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhen a diprotic acid, H2A, is titrated with NaOH, the protons on the diprotic acid are generally removed one at a time, resulting in a pH curve that has the following generic shape: a. Notice that the plot has essentially two titration curves. If the first equivalence point occurs at 100.0 mL NaOH added, what volume of NaOH added corresponds to the second equivalence point? b. For the following volumes of NaOH added, list the major species present after the OH reacts completely. i. 0 mL NaOH added ii. between 0 and 100.0 mL NaOH added iii. 100.0 mL NaOH added iv. between 100.0 and 200.0 mL NaOH added v. 200.0 mL NaOH added vi. after 200.0 mL NaOH added c. If the pH at 50.0 mL NaOH added is 4.0, and the pH at 150.0 mL NaOH added is 8.0, determine the values Ka1, and Ka2 for the diprotic acid.arrow_forwarda Draw a pH titration curve that represents the titration of 25.0 mL of 0.15 M propionic acid. CH3CH2COOH, by the addition of 0.15 M KOH from a buret. Label the axes and put a scale on each axis. Show where the equivalence point and the buffer region are on the titration curve. You should do calculations for the 0%, 50%, 60%, and 100% titration points. b Is the solution neutral, acidic, or basic at the equivalence point? Why?arrow_forward
- Calculate the pH change when 10.0 mL of 0.100-M NaOH is added to 90.0 mL pure water, and compare the pH change with that when the same amount of NaOH solution is added to 90.0 mL of a buffer consisting of 1.00-M NH3 and 1.00-M NH4Cl. Assume that the volumes are additive. Kb of NH3 = 1.8 × 10-5.arrow_forwardYou are given the following acidbase titration data, where each point on the graph represents the pH after adding a given volume of titrant (the substance being added during the titration). a What substance is being titrated, a strong acid, strong base, weak acid, or weak base? b What is the pH at the equivalence point of the tiration? c What indicator might you use to perform this titration? Explain.arrow_forwardMorphine, C17H19O3N, is a weak base (K b =7.4107). Consider its titration with hydrochloric acid.
