- 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_forwardA sodium hydrogen carbonate-sodium carbonate buffer is to be prepared with a pH of 9.40. (a) What must the [ HCO3 ]/[ CO32 ]ratio be? (b) How many moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate must be added to a liter of 0.225 M Na2CO3 to give this pH? (c) How many grams of sodium carbonate must be added to 475 mL of 0.336 M NaHCO3 to give this pH? (Assume no volume change.) (d) What volume of 0.200 M NaHCO3 must be added to 735 mL of a 0.139 M solution of Na2CO3 to give this pH? (Assume that volumes are additive.)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
- A 0.400-g sample of propionic acid was dissolved in water to give 50.0 mL of solution. This solution was titrated with 0.150 M NaOH. What was the pH of the solution when the equivalence point was reached?arrow_forwardA friend asks the following: Consider a buffered solution made up of the weak acid HA and its salt NaA. If a strong base like NaOH is added, the HA reacts with the OH to form A. Thus the amount of acid (HA) is decreased, and the amount of base (A) is increased. Analogously, adding HCI to the buffered solution forms more of the acid (HA) by reacting with the base (A). Thus how can we claim that a buffered solution resists changes in the pH of the solution? How would you explain buffering to this friend?arrow_forwardCalculate the pH during the titration of 50.00 mL of 0.100 M Sr(OH)2 with 0.100 M HNO3 after 0, 50.00, 100.00, and 150.00 mL nitric acid have been added. Graph the titration curve and compare with the titration curve obtained in Exercise 16.22.arrow_forward
- A 30.0-mL sample of 0.05 M HClO is titrated by a 0.0250 M KOH solution Ka for HClO is 3.5 108. Calculate a the pH when no base has been added; b the pH when 30.00 mL of the base has been added; c the pH at the equivalence point; d the pH when an additional 4.00 mL of the KOH solution has been added beyond the equivalence point.arrow_forwardEach symbol in the box below represents a mole of a component in one liter of a buffer solution; represents the anion (X-), = the weak acid (HX), = H+, and =OH. Water molecules and the few H+ and OH- ions from the dissociation of HX and X- are not shown. The box contains 10 mol of a weak acid, , in a liter of solution. Show what happens upon (a) the addition of 2 mol of OH- (2 ). (b) the addition of 5 mol of OH- (5 ). (c) the addition of 10 mol of OH- (10 ). (d) the addition of 12 mol of OH- (12 ). Which addition (a)-(d) represents neutralization halfway to the equivalence point?arrow_forwardDraw 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?arrow_forward
