Chapter 12, Problem 12.97PAE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acid with larger Ka value should be detected and reason of larger value should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The value of Ka, gives the dissociation constant for an acid. Hence, stronger the value of acid, more will be dissociation and so larger will be the value of Ka.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

pH should be estimated for each acid and difference between their values should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Equivalence point is the point of titration curve where, the amount of titrant added is stoichiometrically enough to neutralize the amount of sample. It is detected at halfway of the steep curve.

The pH at this point will be the equivalent pH.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If volume of acids A and B are taken equal then, acid with higher initial concentration should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

pH gives the concentration of H+ ions, which can explain the concentration of the acid.pH=log[H+]

Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Sketch a pH vs base volume curve for a weak acid/strong base titration. (b) Identify which region of the curve is the equivalence point. (c) Assuming the titration is stopped exactly at the equivalence point, and that the acid's Ka value is 1.82 x 10-5, what is the pH at the equivalence point?
Draw the titration curves for the titrations of (a) a strong acid with a strong base, (b) a strong acid with a weak base, (c) a weak acid with a strong base and (d) a weak acid with a weak base. Make sure you label each of them properly (volume on x-axis and pH on the y-axis). Describe how you would determine the Ka for a weak acid from the titration curves.
A chemist wishes to prepare 121.00 mL of acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer solution with a pH of 4.55  and a total concentration of the components equal to 0.35 M. The pKa for acetic acid is 4.75. (a) What mass of acetic acid (molar mass 60.05 g/mol) is required? (b) What mass of sodium acetate (molar mass 82.03 g/mol) is required?
