Consider a monoprotic weak acid (HA) that is titrated with a strong base.
What is the relationship between the strength of the weak acid and the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?
O The stronger the acid, the higher the pH at the equivalence point.
The weaker the acid, the higher the pH at the equivalence point.
O There is no relationship between the strength of the acid and the pH at the equivalence point.
The pH at the equivalence point is always 7 in an acid-base titration.
The graph shows the titrations of two unknown acids with the same base.
Identify the stronger acid and the weaker acid. Support your identifications by
estimating the K, of each acid.

A chemistry graduate student is given 100. mL of a 1.70M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution. Hydrocyanic acid is a weak
acid with K = 4.9 × 10-10, what mass of NaCN should the student dissolve in the HCN solution to turn it into a buffer
with pH = 9.78?
You may assume that the volume of the solution doesn't change when the NaCN is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has

Unfortunately, the acid produced is not completely pure. In addition, it is not soluble in water. A chemist weighs a 1.8451-g sample of the impure acid and adds it to 100.0 mL of 0.1050 M NaOH. The acid is soluble in the NaOH solution and reacts to consume most of the NaOH. The amount of excess NaOH is determined by titration: It takes 3.28 mL of 0.0970 M HCl to neutralize the excess NaOH.

- Buffer capacity refers to the amount of acid or base a buffer can absorb without a significant pH change. It is governed by the concentrations of the conjugate acid and base components of the buffer. A 0.5 M buffer can "absorb" five times as much acid or base as a 0.1 M buffer for a given pH change. In this problem you begin with a buffer of known pH and concentration and calculate the new pH after a particular quantity of acid or base is added. 4. You are given 60 mL of 0.50 M phosphate buffer, pH = 6.83, to test. The starting composition of the buffer, both in terms of the concentration and the molar quantity of the two major phosphate species, is: Concentration of HPO,²: 0.304 M Molar quantity of HPO,: 18.2 mmol Concentration of H,PO*: 0.196 M Molar quantity of H,PO = 11.8 mmol You add 1.7 mL of 1.00 M HCl to the buffer.
