(a)
Interpretation:
1.0 mmol of lactic acid is titrated with NaOH(aq) to a final volume of 100 mL at the equivalence point during a series of planned titrations of lactic acid CH3CH(OH)COOH (pKa=3.86) is planned. The acid-base indicator used for the titration needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A buffer solution is prepared from a weak acid and its conjugate base. Similarly, it can be prepared from a weak base with conjugate acid. It usually works by reacting with any acid or base added to it to control the pH.
(b)
Interpretation:
1.00mmol of lactic acid is titrated with NaOH(aq) to a final volume of 100 mL at the equivalence point during a series of planned titrations of lactic acid CH3CH(OH)COOH (pKa=3.86) is planned. The suitable combination for the buffer solution needs to be determined.

- The weak base ethanolamine. HOCH2CH2NH2, can be titrated with HCl. HOCH2CH2NH2(aq)+H3O+(aq)HOCH2CH2NH3+(aq)+H2O(l) Assume you have 25.0 mL of a 0.010 M solution of ethanolamine and titrate it with 0.0095 M HCl. (Kb for ethanolamine is 3.2 107.) (a) What is the pH of the ethanolamine solution before the titration begins? (b) What is the pH at the equivalence point? (c) What is the pH at the halfway point of the titration? (d) Which indicator in Figure 17.11 would be the best choice to detect the equivalence point? (e) Calculate the pH of the solution after adding 5.00, 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 mL of the acid. (f) Combine the information in parts (a), (b), (c), and (e), and plot an approximate titration curve.arrow_forwardA good buffer generally contains relatively equal concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base. If you wanted to buffer a solution at pH = 4.00 or pH = 10.00, how would you decide which weak acidconjugate base or weak baseconjugate acid pair to use? The second characteristic of a good buffer is good buffering capacity. What is the capacity of a buffer? How do the following buffers differ in capacity? How do they differ in pH? 0.01 M acetic acid/0.01 M sodium acetate 0.1 M acetic acid/0.1 M sodium acetate 1.0 M acetic acid/1.0 M sodium acetatearrow_forwardSketch a pH curve for the titration of a weak acid (HA) with a strong base (NaOH). List the major species, and explain how you would go about calculating the pH of the solution at various points, including the halfway point and the equivalence point.arrow_forward
- When 40.00 mL of a weak monoprotic acid solution is titrated with 0.100-M NaOH, the equivalence point is reached when 35.00 mL base has been added. After 20.00 mL NaOH solution has been added, the titration mixture has a pH of 5.75. Calculate the ionization constant of the acid.arrow_forwardPotassium hydrogen phthalate, known as KHP (molar mass = 204.22 g/mol), can be obtained in high purity and is used to determine the concentration of solutions of strong bases by the reaction HP(aq)+OH(aq)H2O(l)+P2(aq) If a typical titration experiment begins with approximately 0.5 g KHP and has a final volume of about 100 mL, what is an appropriate indicator to use? The pKa for HP is 5.51.arrow_forwardMalonic acid (HO2CCH2CO2H) is a diprotic acid. In the titration of malonic acid w ith NaOH, stoichiometric points occur at pH = 3.9 and 8.8. A 25.00-mL sample of malonic acid of unknown concentration is titrated with 0.0984 M NaOH, requiring 31.50 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the phenolphthalein end point. Calculate the concentration of the initial malonic acid solution. (Sec Exercise 113.)arrow_forward
