Solutions can be considered as homogeneous mixtures which contain two or more than two chemical substances. The chemical substance which is the greater part is defined as solvent. And the chemical substance that is dissolved in a solvent is referred to a…

Consider the following pH curves for 100 .0 mL of two different acids with the same intital concentration each titrated by 0.10 M NaOH:

Chapter 8, Problem 54E, Consider the following pH curves for 100.0mL of two different acids with the same intital

Which plot represents a pH curve of a weak acid, and which plot is for a strong acid? How can you tell? Cite three differences between the plots that help you decide.

In both cases the pH is relatively constant before the pH changes greatly. Does this mean that at some point in each titration each solution was a buffered solution?

True or false? The equivalence point volume for each titration is the same. Explain your answer.

True or false? The pH at the equivalence point for each titration is the same. Explain your answer.

Students have asked these similar questions

When doing a titration too quickly, you are more likely to overshoot the endpoint, to add more than the minimum amount of titrant needed. When the solution is very pink, you have overshoot the endpoint. Will this tend to make your calculated concentration of the acid too high, too low, or will it now make a difference? Explain clearly. NaOh+HCl

The following figure represents solutions at various stagesof the titration of a weak acid, HA, with NaOH. (The Na+ions and water molecules have been omitted for clarity.) Towhich of the following regions of the titration curve doeseach drawing correspond: (a) before addition of NaOH,(b) after addition of NaOH but before the equivalencepoint, (c) at the equivalence point, (d) after the equivalencepoint?

In a laboratory experiment, a student has 1 L of solution containing a weak base at a concentration of 0.300 M. In order to create a buffer, a strong acid is added, which converts some of the base in the solution to its conjugate weak acid to create a buffer. If the student wants to create the most effective buffer that can be equally resistant to both acids and bases how many moles of strong acid should the student add to the buffer? (Please provide your answer to 3 decimal places.)
