The following plot shows the pH curves for the titrations of various acids by 0.10 M NaOH (all of the acids were 50.0-mL samples of 0.10 M concentration).
a. Which pH curve corresponds to the weakest acid?
b. Which pH curve corresponds to the strongest acid? Which point on the pH curve would you examine to see if this acid is a strong acid or a weak acid (assuming you did not know the initial concentration of the acid)?
c. Which pH curve corresponds to an acid with Ka ≈ 1 × 10−6?

- 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_forwardThe titration curves for two acids with the same base are shown on this graph. (a) Which is the curve for the weaker acid? Explain your choice. (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.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_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_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_forwardCyanic acid (HOCN) is a weak acid with AL, = 3.5 X IO-4. Consider the titration of 25.0 inL of 0.125 M HOCN with 0.125 M NaOH. Calculate the pH of the solution at each of the following points. Before any NaOH has been added. .After 12.5 mL of NaOH has been added. After 23.0 inL of NaOH has been added. .After 27.0 mL of KOH have been added. Use your calculator or a spreadsheet to plot the titration curve, and use your graph to estimate the pH at the equivalence point.arrow_forward
- When 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_forwardUsing Figure 17.11, suggest an indicator to use in each of the following titrations: (a) The weak base pyridine is titrated with HCl. (b) Formic acid is titrated with NaOH. (c) Ethylenediamine, a weak diprotic base, is titrated with HCl. Figure 17.11 Common acid-base indicators. The color changes occur over a range of pH values. Notice that o few indicators hove color changes over two different pH ranges.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_forward

List them in order of decreasing concentration. Calculate the pH of the buffer solution. Calculate the pH of 100. mL of the buffer solution if you add 80. mg NaOH.
