11653840343What is the name of the point of the curve where pH = pKa?Halfway point0
11653840344At what point will [H] = [OH]?Equivalence point1
11653840345If a weak acid is titrated with a strong base, will the pH at the equivalence point be greater than, less than, or equal to 7?Greater than 72
11653840346What is the definition of a Buffer solution?A solution which contains a weak acid (or weak base) and its conjugate base (or acid)3
11653840347Given the data of a titration curve, how would one determine the Ka of the acid which is titrated?Take the anti-log of the negative value of the solution's pH at the halfway point4
11653840348How does the titration curve of a base differ from that of an acid?The curve begins with a high pH which decreases as more titrant is added to the solution5
11653840349Why does the titration of a weak acid with a strong base have an equivalence point that is greater than 7?When the weak acid reacts with the strong base, the acid's conjugate base is produced. At the equivalence point, all of the weak acid (and the strong base) has reacted, leaving the solution filled with the conjugate base, so the pH is above 7.6
11653840350What is the definition of the equivalence point?The point on the titration curve where all of the substance being reacted has been eliminated by the titrant substance. The pH at this point is not necessarily 77
11653840351Which indicators would be the most useful when titrating a weak acid with a strong base?Pink phenolphthalein or thymol blue. Both change colors at pH's between 7.6 and 9. These are the values between which the equivalence point of such a titration will lay8
11653840352Is it possible to titrate a strong base with a weak acid?Yes, but it will require a large volume of the titrant, and the equivalence point will lie above a pH of 79
11653840353If a base is being titrated by an acid, at what point on the titration curve will pKb = pOH?The Halfway Point. Consider the concepts of Kb, pOH, etc. and how they mirror the concepts of Ka, pH, etc.10
11653840354Given an unmarked titration curve, how would you identify the equivalence point?Isolate the section of the curve where the slope is steepest. Look for the center point of that section11
11653840355How does the titration of a buffered solution differ from that of a regular acidic or basic solution?The titration of a buffered solution requires a significantly greater volume of titrant in order to react with all of the acid or base12
11653840356When titrating a weak acid with a strong base, the indicator phenolphthalein is used. How can you tell when the equivalence point has been reached?Look for when the pink color remains for approximately 5 seconds after the drop of base from the buret. Do not wait until the solution has a homogenous pinkish purple color. At that point, you are past equivalence.13
11653840357acids characterisiticssour taste acetic acid is found in vinegar citric acid is found in fruits14
11653840358base characteristicsbitter tasting poisonous plants (people reject this flavor) broccoli, turnip, baking soda they feel slippery the react with oils in your skin to form soap many cleaning products contain NH3 blood drain cleanser contains KOH15
11653840359arrhenius acidthey are the acids that dissociate in water to produce H+ ions16
11653840360arrhenius basethey are the bases that dissociate in water to produce OH- ions (groups 1 and 2)17
11653840361bronsted-lowery acidacids that are proton donors they are willing to give up H+ the easier it becomes to remove an H+, the stronger the acid18
11653840362bronsted-lowry basebases that are proton acceptors19
11653840363conjugate basewhat the acid becomes once the proton has been donated20
11653840364conjugate acidwhat the base becomes after it accepts the proton21

11653840366what defines a strong acidthey completely dissociate in water willing to give up its protons strong electrolyte it has a weak conjugate base23
11653840367what defines a weak acidacids that only partially dissociate has a relatively strong conjugate base24
11653840368strong basessoluble compounds containing the hydroxide ions NaOH KOH LiOH RbOH Mg(OH)2 Ba(OH)2 Ca(OH)2 Sr(OH)225
11653840369weak bases containing nitrogenthe lone pair on the nitrogen will accept the protons in solution the nitrogen has the ability to take the hydrogen from water26
11653840370How they electronegativity of Y on oxyacid (H-O-Y) affects acid strengthacid strength increases as the electronegativity of Y increases. the electrons are more attracted to the Y weakening the H-O bond making it easier to remove a H+27
11653840371How # of oxygens on oxyacids affects acid strengthacid strength increases as more oxygens are added to the central Y increasing the number of electronegative oxygen atoms increases the electrons attraction toward the Y. This will reduce the forces of attraction in the O-H bond making ti easier to remove a H+28
