Where does the flattest region of a titration curve of the titration of a weak acid with a strong base occur?

2

Litmus paper may be used to estimate the pH of a solution colorimetrically. The specific color change observed is dependent on the pH of the solution in which it is submerged.

Based on the following figure, what color would you expect a piece of litmus paper to turn when exposed to a sodium hydroxide solution made by adding 0.004g of anhydrous sodium hydroxide () to 1L of water?

Assume the solution's volume is unchanged by the addition of the solid.

You are given 500 mL of a HCl solution of unknown concentration and you titrate is with 0.0540 M NaOH. It takes 32.1 mL of the NaOH solution to reach your end point. What is [HCl] of your original solution?

4

A titration is a drop-by-drop mixing of an acid and a base in order to determine the concentration of an unknown solution, via addition of a solution with known concentration. A titration curve can be graphed showing the relationship between the mixture pH and the amount of known solution added.

What would the titration curve look like for a strong base being titrated with a strong acid?

5

0.458g of an unknown diprotic acid is dissolved in water. It is then titrated with 21.5ml of a 0.500M NaOH solution to reach the second equivalence point. Determine the molecular weight of this unknown acid.

6

At what pH does the equivalence point lie for a strong-acid / strong-base titration?

7

You have a solution of weak base with unknown concentration. What would be a good acid with which to titrate the weakly alkaline solution, in order to determine its concentration?

8

You have a 500mL solution of a monoprotic acid with unknown concentration. You titrate it to completion with 36mL of 0.4M NaOH solution. What is [HX]?
