Q

What is a titration?

A

A titration is the procedure in which a strong acid or base of acccurate concentration is added stepwise in small amounts to incrementally neutralize the solution

17
Q

What is an analyte?

A

An analyte is the “unknown” solution for which you would like to know either the concentration or K value of

18
Q

What is a titrant?

A

A titrant is the “known” solution which has a percise and accurate concentration

19
Q

What is the equivalence point?

A

The equivalence point is the point at which the number of moles of added base are equal to the number of moles of analyte solution

20
Q

What is the half-equivalence point?

A

The half-equivalence point is the point at which half of the original analyte has been neutralized

21
Q

How do you convert between Ka and Kb?

A

1E-14 = [Ka][Kb]

22
Q

How do you convert Ka to pKa (of Kb to pKb)?

A

pKa = -log[Ka] (or pKb = -log[Kb])

23
Q

What species dominates at the equivalence point?

A

100% A- (conjugate base to strong acid)

24
Q

Explain what is happening at the half-equivalence point?

A

Moles HA = moles A-

25
Q

What is the protonated state?

A

pH < pka

26
Q

What is the deprotonated state?

A

pH > pKa

27
Q

What is needed for an indicator to effectively indicate the endpoint of the titration?

A

pKa needs to be close to the pH of the equivalence point of the titration
