Note 1: Please provide a summary of data you use when plotting titration curves as a
table.
Note 2: When writing the equilibria and mass balance expressions, do not forget to
write the specific equilibrium constant and the total concentration value, respectively,
on the other side of the equality.
Note 3: Do not forget to label your axes and specie names on each line on the graph.
Show the solution point, pH, pKa, the points that you read the concentrations etc. Also, if
you are making assumptions either calculate the error or show on the graph that the
assumption is correct.
1. (50 pts) Calculate the pH when the following volumes of 0.4 M KOH are added
into 100 mL of a 0.1 M HNO3 solution. Both KOH and HNO3 are strong
electrolytes.
2. (50 pts) One liter of a weak base (B) solution (pKa=10.2) at a concentration of
10-1.8 M is titrated with 1 M of HBr. Find the pH when:
a) 0 mL
b) 4 mL of acid added
c) 8mL of acid added
d) 12 mL of acid added
e) 16 mL of acid added
f) 20 mL of acid added
g) 50 mL of acid added
h) 50 mL of 10 M HBr (concentrated) is added
