    The titration curves lab involved generating a titration curve for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base. Sodium hydroxide solution was standardized and then used to titrate an unknown weak acid. The equivalence point was determined to be 34.5 mL, with a pH of 10.12. The initial concentration of the acid and the Ka value were then calculated using the data collected. The purpose was to better understand how equivalence points relate to calculating pH and acid dissociation constants.

    Procedures
    This titration curves lab entailed using our skills in titration to generate an acid-base titration curve. The
    lab started with standardizing a sodium hydroxide solution. From there we generated a titration curve for
    the titration of our weak acid with a strong base and determined the equivalence point. Lastly, we
    calculated the initial concentration of the weak acid and the Ka for the weak acid using our data from the
    titration. The purpose of this lab was to practice using titrations and equivalence points to calculate the
    pH. This is important because it provides a better understanding of how the equivalence point relates to
    the Ka value.

    Results
    Titration Curve:

    Standardization of NaOH

    Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

    Mass of KHP 0.501 g 0.501 g 0.501 g

    Final buret reading, NaOH 16 mL 32 mL 48 mL

    Initial buret reading, NaOH 0 mL 16 mL 32 mL

    Total volume, NaOH 16 mL 16 mL 16 mL

    Molarity of NaOH 0.153125 0.153125 0.153125

    Average molarity of NaOH 0.153125


    Initial pH of acid solution: 2.03
    Volume of NaOH solution required to reach equivalence point: 34.5 mL
    pH at equivalence point: 10.12
    Initial concentration of acid: (2.45 x 10^-3) / (0.016) = 0.153125
    ½ volume of base required to reach equivalence point: 17.25
    pH of solution at this half-way point: 2.70

    Interpretation of Data & Conclusion


    There were no issues or mistakes that I am aware of from this lab. From the titration curve and other
    information gathered from this experiment, it can be determined that unknown 7 is a strong acid and
    NaOH is a strong base. The equivalence point helps confirm this observation (shown in the photo of the
    titration curve). The recording of pH time intervals helped to find the equivalence point since the change
    in pH value is very evident, (34.5 mL, pH 5.0 - pH 10.12), which indicates the equivalence point.

    Ka Calculations:
    Ka initial: 0.153125/2.03 = 0.07543103448
    Ka halfway: 2.70/17.25 = 0.1565217391
    The Ka values have a difference of 0.08109070465. The Ka value for the halfway point is greater than the
    Ka value for the first full equilibrium point.
