Sketch the titration curve from Problem 121by calculating the pH at the beginning of the titration, at one-half of the equivalence point, at the equivalence point, and at 5.0 mL beyond the equivalence point. Pick a suitable indicator for this titration from Table 17.1
121. A 0.552-g sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is dissolved in water to a total volume of 20.0 mL and titrated with 0.1103 M KOH. The equivalence point occurs at 28.42 mL. The pH of the solution at 10.0 mL of added base was 3.72. From this data, determine the molar mass and Kafor vitamin C.

- A 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_forwardA 0.239-g sample of unknown organic base is dissolved in water and titrated with a 0.135 M hydrochloric acid solution. After the addition of 18.35 mL of acid, a pH of 10.73 is recorded. The equivalence point is reached when a total of 39.24 mL of HCl is added. The base and acid combine in a 1:1 ratio. a What is the molar mass of the organic base? b What is the Kb value for the base? The Kb value could have been determined very easily if a pH measurement had been made after the addition of 19.62 mL of HCl. Why?arrow_forwardA student intends to titrate a solution of a weak monoprotic acid with a sodium hydroxide solution but reverses the two solutions and places the weak acid solution in the buret. After 23.75 mL of the weak acid solution has been added to 50.0 mL of the 0.100 M NaOH solution, the pH of the resulting solution is 10.50. Calculate the original concentration of the solution of weak acid.arrow_forward
