Document Summary
***we did additional problems, especially on the latter point of the notes*** ***those will be up as soon as he gives them to us! Half equivalence point: one half of the initial amount of acid (ha) has been converted to a- *******equal to the pka value of the solution********** Equal amounts of weak acid and conjugate base at this half equivalence point. The ph of the solution is equal to the concentration of half of the oh or. H substance added to the solution at the equivalence point (therefore the pka is the final answer for the ph) This is why you can use henderson hasselbach equation for the total reaction. Acid- base indicator: weak organic acid that will have a different color than its conjugate base has. The color you observe will differ depending on the ratio between the acid and its conjugate base. Equivalence point: moles of acid equal moles of base.
