Chapter 16, Problem 16.7VP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The identification of titration curves that represents the titration of an aqueous sample of ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$ and ${\text{NaHCO}}_{\text{3}}$ with strong acid are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The potential of ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions is called as $\text{pH}$. The value of $\text{pH}$ is less than 7 for acidic solutions and greater than 7 for basic solutions. For neutral solution the value of $\text{pH}$ is 7. The $\text{pH}$ value of aqueous sample of ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$ is higher than ${\text{NaHCO}}_{\text{3}}$.

To determine: The identification of titration curves that represents the titration of an aqueous sample of ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$ and ${\text{NaHCO}}_{\text{3}}$ with strong acid.
