Chapter 16, Problem 16.126QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: A titration curve for the titration of the given volume and concentration of ascorbic acid titrated with the given concentration of sodium hydroxide is to be sketched. The $\text{pH}$ indicator used and the number of equivalence points obtained are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The concentration of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solution. At equivalence point,

$\text{Concentration}\text{of}\text{acid}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{acid}=\text{Concentration}\text{of}\text{base}\times \text{Volume}\text{of}\text{base}$

To determine: The titration curve for the titration of ascorbic acid titrated with sodium hydroxide, the $\text{pH}$ indicator used and the number of equivalence points obtained.
