Sketch the titration curve for a weak base titrated by a strong acid. Weak base–strong acid titration problems also follow a two-step procedure. 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 acid (HNO3, for example) reacts to completion with the weak base, B. 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 base–strong acid titration?

- 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_forwardConsider the nanoscale-level representations for Question 111 of the titration of the aqueous strong acid HA with aqueous NaOH, the titrant. Water molecules and Na+ ions are omitted for clarity. Which diagram corresponds to the situation: (a) After a very small volume of titrant has been added to the initial HA solution? (b) Halfway to the equivalence point? (c) When enough titrant has been added to take the solution just past the equivalence point? (d) At the equivalence point? Nanoscale representations for Question 111.arrow_forwardSketch the titration curve for a weak base titrated by a strong acid. Weak basestrong acid titration problems also follow a two-step procedure.

- 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.arrow_forwardBriefly describe how a buffer solution can control the pH of a solution when strong acid is added and when strong base is added. Use NH3/NH4Cl as an example of a buffer and HCl and NaOH as the strong acid and strong base.arrow_forwardWhen a diprotic acid, H2A, is titrated with NaOH, the protons on the diprotic acid are generally removed one at a time, resulting in a pH curve that has the following generic shape: a. Notice that the plot has essentially two titration curves. If the first equivalence point occurs at 100.0 mL NaOH added, what volume of NaOH added corresponds to the second equivalence point? b. For the following volumes of NaOH added, list the major species present after the OH reacts completely. i. 0 mL NaOH added ii. between 0 and 100.0 mL NaOH added iii. 100.0 mL NaOH added iv. between 100.0 and 200.0 mL NaOH added v. 200.0 mL NaOH added vi. after 200.0 mL NaOH added c. If the pH at 50.0 mL NaOH added is 4.0, and the pH at 150.0 mL NaOH added is 8.0, determine the values Ka1, and Ka2 for the diprotic acid.arrow_forward
- The titration of 0.100 M acetic acid with 0.100 M NaOH is described in the text. What is the pH of the solution when 35.0 mL of the base has been added to 100.0 mL of 0.100 M acetic acid?arrow_forwardPhenol, C6H5OH, is a weak organic acid. Suppose 0.515 g of the compound is dissolved in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. The resulting solution is titrated with 0.123 M NaOH. C6H5OH(aq) + OH(aq) C6H5O(aq) + H2O() (a) What is the pH of the original solution of phenol? (b) What are the concentrations of all of the following ions at the equivalence point: Na+, H3O+, OH, and C6H5O? (c) What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?arrow_forwardInstead of the titration of a strong acid by a strong base considered in Question 5, consider the titration of a strong base by a strong acid. Compare and contrast a strong acidstrong base titration with a strong basestrong acid titration.arrow_forward
- Chemistry please answer Question 46 Which of the following staterments about titration curves is false? O The equivalence point on a titration curve is the point where chemically equivalence amounts of acid and base have reacted. O The equivalence point will be basic when titrating a weak acid with a strong base. O A titration curve shows how pH changes near the equivalence point. A titration curve for titrating a strong acid/strong base will always have an equivalence point at pH - 7.0. all are true D Question 47 In the reaction shown below, what species is oxidized? 2Nal + Brz → 2NaBr + 12 Or O Br O none of these O Brz Na"arrow_forwardA buffer system is prepared by combining 0.603 moles of ammonium chloride (NH4CI) and 0.713 moles of ammonia (NH3). What will the solution pH be if 0.239 moles of the nitric acid (HNO3) is added to the solution. Nitric acid is a strong acid. The K₁ of ammonia is 1.8 x 10-5. (Two decimal places)arrow_forwardFor the H₂SO4 and NaOH titration, the endpoint is ideally reached when a green color is observed. If your solution ends up a very dark blue colour, you have over titrated. In this case, will your calculated concentration of H₂SO4 be lower or higher than the true value? Lower because more volume of H₂SO4 is being used to titrate the moles of NaOH. Higher because more volume of H₂SO4 is being used to titrate the moles of NaOH. Higher because more volume of NaOH is being used to titrate the moles of H₂SO4. No effect because the moles of H₂SO4 titrated does not change. Lower because more volume of NaOH is being used to titrate the moles of H₂SO4.arrow_forward
