Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The strongest base should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Titration is a process that determines the concentration of solution by known volume to react with a standard solution of another substance.
titration curve is a plot of pH of solution versus volume of titrant. The shape of titration curve identifies the equivalence point in titration.
The point at which equivalent quantity of acid and base have been mixed together is called equivalent point. at equivalence point depends upon the relative strength of acids or bases.
is defined as the acid dissociation constant in conjugate acid-base pairs. is defined as the base ionization constant in acid-base pairs. is the equilibrium constant for water. At is equal to
The expression for relation between and is as follows:
Rearrange above equation for

- Consider the titration of HF (K a=6.7104) with NaOH. What is the pH when a third of the acid has been neutralized?arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a buffer that is 0.150 M in a weak acid and 0.150 M in the acids conjugate base? The acids ionization constant is 6.8 106.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the capacity of a buffer? Describe a buffer with low capacity and the same buffer with greater capacity.arrow_forward
- You 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_forwardWhen 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_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
