Titration of Acetic Acid with NaOH and HCL
- In the titration of acetic acid with NaOH why does the pH not change very much from 4-6 drops of added NaOH?
- In the titration of acetic acid with NaOH why does a buffer plus 10 drops of 1.0 M HCL not change the pH very much? (Also write an equation to explain).
- In the titration of acetic acid with NaOH why does the pH not change very much after adding 10 extra drops of 1.0 M NaOH?
Calculated Data on Acid Unknown
Weight of acid unknown = 1.623 g
NaOH sol'n molarity = 0.1986 M
Voluume used to titrate acid unknown = 24.9 mL
pH of original acid solution = 2.05 pH
pH of half neutralized solution (buffer) = 3.85 pH
1. Calculate molecular weight of acid unknown.
2. Calculate pKa and Ka of acid unknown.
3. Using the Ka and [H+] of original acid solution, calculate the molarity of the original acid solution (assume a monoprotic acid; correct for disassociation).
4. Using the volume of NaOH needed to neutralize 25 mL of the original solution, again calculate its molarity.
