Chapter 15, Problem 15.42CP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The strong and weak acid $\text{pH}$ curves should be given from the given $\text{pH}$ titration plots

Concept Introduction:

Acid-base neutralization reaction:

The aqueous solution of acid react with aqueous solution of base to produce soluble salt with water is known as acid-base neutralization reaction.

$\text{pH}$ titration curve:

$\text{pH}$ titration curve is the plot of $\text{pH}$ of an acid solution versus amount of base added.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The approximate $\text{pH}$ of each titration at the equivalence point in the given plot should be given.

Concept Introduction:

Acid-base neutralization reaction:

The aqueous solution of acid react with aqueous solution of base to produce soluble salt with water in known as acid-base neutralization reaction.

$\text{pH}$:

The negative log of base 10 ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ion concentration is given by $\text{pH}$ of the solution.

$\text{pH}\text{=}{\text{-log}}_{\text{10}}{\text{[H}}^{\text{+}}\text{]}$

$\text{pH}$titration curve:

$\text{pH}$ titration curve is the plot of $\text{pH}$ of an acid solution versus amount of base added.
