Consider a weak acid-strong base titration in which 25 mL of 0.120 M of acetic acid is titrated with 0.120 M of NaOH.
a) Calculate the pH of the acetic acid solution BEFORE addition of NaOH (pKa of acetic acid = 4.75).
b) Calculate the pH after the addition of 3.00 mL of NaOH.
c) Calculate the pH after the additon of 12.5 mL of NaOH. Notice that this is the half neutralizatiom point: some of the acetic acid molecules are converted to acetate ions producing a buffer whose pH depends on the base/acid ratio (CH3COO-/CH3COOH).
d) Calculate the pH after the addtion of 25 mL of NaOH (equivalence point).
e) Calculate the pH after the addition of 35 mL of NaOH.
f) suggest an indicator other then phenolphthalein that would be suitable for this titration and explain why.
Thank you very much.
