Question

Please find the 75% equivalence point, 25% equivalence point, Difference in equivalence points, and half equivalence point(pKa1), and molecular weight range? Then based on the results, determine the unknown acid (possibilities: acetic acid, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, and KHP).

standardized NaOH(M) is 0.0840±0.0005 and Used unknown acid was 0.2005g. I did titration curve graph, and found the end point as 44.40.

Below is a data of pH vs. NaOH titration:

Explanation / Answer

Please find the 75% equivalence point, 25% equivalence point, Difference in equivalence points, and half equivalence point(pKa1), and molecular weight range? Then based on the results, determine the unknown acid (possibilities: acetic acid, oxalic acid, benzoic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, and KHP).

standardized NaOH(M) is 0.0840±0.0005 and Used unknown acid was 0.2005g. I did titration curve graph, and found the end point as 44.40.

This has only 1 equivalence point, so no "difference between points" exist

Volume in equivlaence point = 44 mL approx

Half equivalence point = 1/2*44 = 22 mL

pH in half equivalenc epoint = 2.8 approx

25% poiunt --> 44/4 = 11 mL

75% = 3/4*44 = 33 mL

so

pK = 2.8

molar mass = mass of acid / mol

mol of base = MV = 0.0840(44.4/1000) = 0.003729 mol of base

mol of acid = 0.003729

so...

MW = 0.2005/0.003729 = 53.767 g/mol

MWof:

acetic acid = 60

oxalic acid = N/A since diprotic

benzoic acid= 122.123

maleic acid = 116.072

malic acid = 134.0874

and KHP) =204.22

nearest answer is that of acetic acid
