![EXPERIMENT 8 pK AND EQUIVALENT WEIGHT BY POTENTIOMETRIC
TITRATION OF AN ACID
PURPOSE
In this experiment you are to determine the pK and equivalent weight of a weak monoprotic acid
by potentiometric titration.
METHOD
For an acid, the equivalent weight is defined as the mass in grams that provides one mole of
protons in a neutralization reaction. Thus, for a polyprotic acid, the equivalent weight varies
according to the neutralization reaction occurring and the amount of base allowed to react with
the acid. For a monoprotic acid, HA, one mole of acid will provide one mole of protons, and
therefore the equivalent weight equals the molar mass. Note that this is only true because the acid
is monoprotic! When such an acid reacts with a strong base, the net ionic equation is:
HA(aq) + OH(aq) A (aq) + H₂0 (1)
In this experiment, you will weigh out a definite mass of a solid monoprotic acid. This amount of
acid will be reacted with a solution of the strong base, sodium hydroxide, whose molarity is
known. By determining the volume of NaOH needed to react completely with HA following
Equation (1), you can calculate the molar mass of the weak acid.
The volume of base needed for complete reaction will be determined by the method called
titration. In this titration small, measured amounts of the NaOH solution are added to the solution
of HA. The point in the titration at which the moles of added base just equal the moles of added
acid is called the equivalence point. The volume of NaOH added at the equivalence point, Vap
(measured to 0.01mL), can be used to calculate the equivalent weight (in this case, the molar
mass) of the acid.
ер,
Several methods can be used to detect the equivalence point. In this experiment we will follow
the pH of the solution as the base is added. A typical titration curve is shown in figure 1. Notice
that at the equivalent point the pH "jumps." A mathematical analysis of the data collected in this
experiment will allow the determination of this jump and thus of the equivalence point volume.
This mathematical analysis will be done by computer.

![The pKa of the acid can also be deduced from the titration data. Ka, the acid dissociation constant,
is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid in water.

Ka=
[H30+][A]
[HA]
The pKa of the acid is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the Ka.
pKa = -log10 Ka

(3)
The pH of a solution of a weak acid is related to the pK of the acid by the equation:
[A]
pH = pKa + log[HA]
(4)
In a solution for which [A] = [HA], pH = pKa [Can you derive this from equation (4)?] In this
experiment, OH¯ equal one-half the equivalents of HA initially present, [A] = [HA] and thus pH
= pKa [This point in the titration is known as the buffer point; the position of the buffer point in
the titration curve is shown on Figure 1.] The volume needed to reach the buffer point, Vbp,, will
be one-half that needed to reach the equivalence point.
Vbp = 1/2 Vep
(5)
In summary, the titration will be performed and data collected for pH versus volume of NaOH
added. By a mathematical analysis of the titration curve, the equivalence point volume will be
identified. From this volume, the equivalent weight can be calculated. Again by mathematical
analysis, the pH at the buffer point will be determined. This is a measure of pKa of the acid.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdab67aeb-c4d9-43f7-88d0-dfd6e7af2d5d%2F331b6345-3979-4d44-8996-7da0aaafbe7a%2Fp15w1i6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
