Effect of concentration in the titration of weak acid with strong base.Use your spreadsheet from Problem 11-66 to prepare a family of titration curves for pKa = 6, with the following combinations of concentrations: (a) Ca = 20 mM, Cb = 100 mM; (b) Ca = 2 mM, Cb = 10 mM; (c) Ca = 0.2 mM, Cb = 1 mM.

The plot of the family of titration curves for pKa =6 is shown below

(a)

Step by step solution

01

Equation need to be used to develop spreadsheet

The equation for the fraction of titration of weak acid with strong base

ϕ=CbVbCaVa=αA--1-H+-OH-Ca1+H+-OH-Cb

Consider the titration of a weak acid HA (volume=Va, initial concentration=Ca) with a strong base NaOH (volume=Vb, initial concentration=Cb).

The respective values were taken as per the information given equation 11-13 and figure 10-3.and spreadsheet were developed using the information from problem 66

02

Development of the spreadsheet for Ca = 20 mM, Cb = 100 mM

(a) Spreadsheet for Ca = 20 mM, Cb = 100 mM



03

Plot for part (a)

From the above table titration curve obtained is plotted below.
