Question

8. The figures below show the titration of a 10.00 mL solution of a strong acid and a weak acid with 0.100 M NaOH. Use these figures to answer the following questions. a. Which curve represents the titration of a weak acid? b. What is the pKa of the weak acid? c. What is the initial concentration of each acid? d. Explain why the change in the pH before the equivalence point is only ~ 1 unit in the figure on the left while the pH changes by ~ 3 units in the figure on the right.

Step 1

Which curve represents the titration of weak acid? The curve on the left represents the titration of weak acid because it shows a gradual increase in pH before the equivalence point, which is characteristic of weak acid titration. Show more…
