1
Q

the chemicals used in today’s experiment

A

0.1 M NaOH and an unknown acid

2
Q

protect yourself by

A

keeping your goggles on, wear (at least) a short sleeve shirt, long pants, and closed shoes

3
Q

if you spill the chemicals on you,

A

wash the area thoroughly with tepid water for 15 minutes and let your TA know ASAP

4
Q

titration is a laboratory procedure that

A

uses the principles of acid-base neutralization and stoichiometry to determine the concentration of the unknown substance in a solution (allow the known to react with the unknown)

5
Q

add the solution in buret to the flask (slowly/quickly) because

A

slowly; so you will not pass the equivalence point

6
Q

stop when the pH

A

has leveled out at the high pH (around 12)

7
Q

titration curve

A

a plot of the pH of the solution during a titration

8
Q

the equivalence point reflects the fact that

A

the number of moles of the OH- added exactly equals the number of moles of H+ initially in solution

9
Q

the pH changes very (slowly/quickly) around the equivalence point

A

quickly

10
Q

in the titration, one needs to record the

A

volume of the base used to reach the equivalence point

11
Q

strong acid strong base

A

one equivalence point (the curve you’re used to)

12
Q

polyprotic acid and strong base

A

two equivalence points

13
Q

any titrated solutions may

A

go down the drain with lots of water

14
Q

polyprotic acids are

A

specific acids that are capable of losing more than a single proton per molecule in acid-base reactions

15
Q

pH = ?

A

pKa

16
Q

Ka = ?

A

10^(-pKa)

17
Q

pKa = ?

A

-log(Ka)
