  1. What is a titration?

    There are two types of titration – acid-base and redox titration.  We will be focusing on the acid-base titration. 

    In the lab, a titration is when a solution of unknown concentration is reacted with a solution of known concentration.  This reaction will tell you more information about the unknown solution.

    In the context of a homework or exam question, it means that you are reacting two substances.

  3. What is the equivalence point?

    The point in a titration where the reactants are perfectly reacted.
    In the case of an acid/base titration the equivalence point is when


  4.  

     

  5. For a strong acid and weak base reaction the equivalence point has a
    pH < 7. 
    1. Why?

      Because the conjugate of the weak base is a weak acid that reacts in solution.                  

     

  6. For a strong base and weak acid reaction the equivalence point has a
    pH > 7.
    1. Why?

      Because the conjugate of the weak acid is a weak base that reacts in solution.

     

     

  7. Determine the pH of the following solutions
    1. 1.00 L solution of 1.00M HNO2 and 1.50M NaNO2
      (Ka = 4 x 10-4).

      pH = 3.57
    2.  

    3. The solution in part a after 0.200 moles HCl has been added.

      pH = 3.43

     

     

  8. Determine the pH of the following solutions
    1. 25.0g of NH3  and 40.0g NH4NO3 in 501.0 mL of water. 
      (Ka = 5.6 x 10-10)

      pH = 9.72                                        
    2.  

    3. The solution in part a after 0.02 mol of NaOH has been added.

      pH = 9.74

     

     

  9. Calculate the pH when 80. mL of 0.25M KOH is added to 40. mL of 0.50M HClO.  (Ka = 3 x 10-8)

    pH = 10.37
  10.  

     

  11. Calculate the pH for 100.0 mL of 0.400M CH3­COOH with 300. mL of 0.200M NaOH.

    pH = 12.699
