Question

Analyze the following titration curve obtained when titrating 25.0 ml. of an unknown acid solution with a 0 20 M NaOH solution Refer to the guidelines about graphical analysis presented in the Background section. What type of acid (strong, weak, monoprotic diprotic) was being titrated? What was the initial concentration of the unknown acid solution? What is are the p^K value(s) of the unknown acid titrated in this graph? From this, what is the identity of the acid? Use the list of acids provided in the Background section

Explanation / Answer

The titration curve is a graph of the volume of titrant, or in our case the volume of strong base, plotted against the pH. There are several characteristics that are seen in all titration curves of a weak acid with a strong base. These characteristics are stated below.

A+H2O AH + OH

So it will be weak acid...now take any weak acid find the concetration and Pka values..
