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.
Sketch a titration curve for the titration of potassium hydroxide with HCl, both 0.100 M. Identify three regions in which a particular chemical species or system dominates the acid-base equilibria.
Each 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?
A 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?
You have a solution of the weak acid HA and add some of the salt NaA to it. What are the major species in the solution? What do you need to know to calculate the pH of the solution, and how would you use this information? How does the pH of the solution of just the HA compare with that of the final mixture? Explain.
Determine the dominant acid-base equilibrium that results when each of the following pairs of solutions is mixed. Indicate the equilibrium by writing 1 for a strong acid, 3 for a weak acid, 4 for an acidic buffer, 7 for a neutral solution, 10 for a basic buffer, 11 for a weak base, and 13 for a strong base. (a) 10.0 mL of 0.15 M NaOH + 15.0 mL of 0.10 M HNO3 (b) 25.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl + 10.0 mL of 0.25 M NH3 (c) 50.0 mL of 0.050 M NaOH + 50.0 mL of 0.10 M NH3 (d) 50.0 mL of 0.10 M NH3 + 50.0 mL of 0.05 M HCl
. How is the strength of an acid related to the fact that a competition for protons exists in aqueous solution between water molecules and the anion of the acid?
Sketch 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.
Methyl orange, HMO, is a common acid-base indicator. In solution it ionizes according to the equation: HMOaqH+aq+MO-aqredyellow If methyl orange is added to distilled water, the solution turns yellow. If 1 drop or two of 6 M HCl is added to the yellow solution, it turns red. If to that solution one adds a few drops of 6 M NaOH, the color reverts to yellow. a. Why does adding 6 M HCl to the yellow solution of methyl orange tend to cause the color to change to red? Note that in solution HCl exists as H+ and Cl- ions. b. Why does adding 6 M NaOH to the red solution tend to make it turn back to yellow? Note that in solution NaOH exists as Na+ and OH- ions. How does increasing OH- shift Reaction 3 in the discussion section? How would the resulting change in H+ affect the dissociation reaction of HMO?
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.
