UNKNOWN Part pH of your pH UNKNOWN using indicators pH number Color with unknown Color with pH Color with pH solution Solution Estimated pH of pH UNKNOWN solution Instructor: Circle Students answer and initial pH of pH UNKNOWN using pH paper: Part 2: The Titration of a STRONG ACID (HC) with NaoHusing pH meter a) pH of 25 mL distilled water (Measure volume with graduated cylinder) b) pH of 25 mL distilled water with 1 drop 1.0 M HCl c) pH of 25 ml distilled water with 10 drops i.0 M HCI (Note: [H] in 3c is about 10 times that of 3b) d Titration of solution c) with 1.0 M NaOH. 1 M NaOH added a) pH of 25 mL distilled water 1.0 MAcetic Acid. Titration of solution c) with 1.0 M NaOH. 1 M NaOH addedExplanation / Answer
1) difference in pH 2b and 2c
0.53
HCl is a string acid which dissoiates completely into H+ and Cl- in solution, whereas, acetic acid is a weak acid which dissociates only partially in solution. Thus the two pH 2c and 3c are different.
Between the said volume of NaOH addition, the solution acts as a buffer and thus any adiiton of base resists pH change.
In 4b again a weak acid is present which forms a buffer solution and thus the pH is not seen much upon addtion of acid.
Equation : A- + H+ <==> HA
molar mass of unknown acid = 0.93 g/0.1948 M x 12.4 ml = 385.010 g/mol
molarity of solution = 0.93/385.01 x 0.0124 = 0.195 M
pKa of unknown acid = pH at half-equivalence point = 4.03
pKa = -logKa
Ka = 9.33 x 10^-5
