Check ALL of the statements below that are true when a strong acid is titrated by slowly adding small amounts of a strong base? Check ALL of the correct answers. A. Initially, before any base is added the pH of the solution will be acidic. B. The pH of the equivalence point will be 7.0 C. The equivalence point occurs when just enough base has been added to react with all of the acid. D. After the equivalence point is reached, adding more strong base will make the pH of the mixture basic.

Acidbase indicators mark the end point of titrations by magically turning a different color. Explain the magic behind acidbase indicators.

Draw 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?

Calculate 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.

Explain why even though an aqueous acetic acid solution contains acetic acid and acetate ions, it cannot be a buffer.

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.

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.

Consider 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.

A 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?

(b) Give the approximate pH at the equivalence point for the titration of each acid. (c) Explain why the pH at the equivalence point differs for each acid. (d) Explain why the starting pH values of the two acids differ. (e) Which indicator or indicators, phenolphthalein, bromthymol blue, or methyl red, could be used for the titration of Acid 1? For the titration of Acid 2? Explain your choices.
