An acid-base titration is used to standardize a solution of NaOH. A student adds 25.00 mL of a 0.1530 M KHP solution to a flask, and adds a few drops of a phenolphthalein indicator. At the start of the titration, the initial volume of NaOH in the the burette is 35.09 mL. The student titrates until the phenolphthalein end point is reached and reads the final volume on the burette as 5.64 mL. What is the molarity of the NaOH solution?

Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory as a primary standard. It has the formula KHC8H4O4. This is often written in the short-hand notation as KHP. If 25.0mL of a potassium hydroxide solution are needed to neutralize 2.26g of KHP, what is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide solution? Potassium hydrogen phthalate sometimes called potassium biphthalate, as shown on this bottle is an acid that is convenient to store and use because it is a solid.
An acid is titrated with NaOH. The following beakers are illustrations of the contents of the beaker at various times during the titration. These are presented out of order. Note: Counter-ions and water molecules have been omitted from the illustrations for clarity. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) a. Is the acid a weak or strong acid? How can you tell? b. Arrange the beakers in order of what the contents would look like as the titration progresses. c. For which beaker would pH = pKa? Explain your answer. d. Which beaker represents the equivalence point of the titration? Explain your answer. e. For which beaker would the Ka value for the acid not be necessary to determine the pH? Explain your answer.
A bottle of concentrated hydroiodic acid is 57% HI by weight and has a density of 1.70 g/mL. A solution of this strong and corrosive acid is made by adding exactly 10.0 mL to some water and diluting to 250.0 mL. If the information on the label is correct, what volume of 0.988 M NaOH is needed to neutralize the HI solution? Suggest an indicator for the titration.
Describe how the amount of sodium hydroxide in a mixture can be determined by titration with hydrochloric acid of known molarity.
If 55 mg of lead(II) sulfate is placed in 250 mL of pure water, does all of it dissolve? If not, how much dissolves?
A student is given 0.930 g of an unknown acid, which can be either oxalic acid, H2C2O4, or citric acid, H3C6H5O7. To determine which acid she has, she titrates the unknown acid with 0.615 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached when 33.6 mL are added. What is the unknown acid?
One half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?
Sketch the titration curve for a weak acid titrated by a strong base. When performing calculations concerning weak acidstrong base titrations, the general two-slep procedure is to solve a stoichiometry problem first, then to solve an equilibrium problem to determine the pH. What reaction takes place in the stoichiometry part of the problem? What is assumed about this reaction? At the various points in your titration curve, list the major species present after the strong base (NaOH, for example) reacts to completion with the weak acid, HA. What equilibrium problem would you solve at the various points in your titration curve to calculate the pH? Why is pH 7.0 at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration? Does the pH at the halfway point to equivalence have to be less than 7.0? What does the pH at the halfway point equal? Compare and contrast the titration curves for a strong acidstrong base titration and a weak acidstrong base titration.
The equation for a reaction by which a solution of sodium carbonate may be standardized is 2HC7H5O2+Na2CO32NaC7H5O2+H2O+CO2. A student determines that 5.038g of HC7H5O2 uses 51.89mL of sodium carbonate solution in the titration. Find the molarity of the sodium carbonate.
