Question: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.

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).

With reference to SID-135385-11-67P – a the following graph was obtained for Ca = 20 mM, Cb = 100 mM

With reference to SID-135385-11-67P – b the following graph was obtained for Ca = 20 mM, Cb = 100 mM

02

Development of the spreadsheet for Ca = 0.2 mM, Cb = 1 mM

Spreadsheet for Ca = 0.2 mM, Cb = 1 mM

03

Plot for part (c)

From the above table titration curves obtained is plotted below
