Answer 4

Acidimetry

Question 5

T/F
In ALKALIMETRY, the BASIC CONTENT should be titrate with ACID.

Answer 5

T

Question 6

T/F

Answer 6

T

Question 7

It is the course of an acid-base titration that is best followed by examining the pH as the titration progresses.

Answer 7

Titration Curve

Question 8

It provides a visual picture of how the property of the titration reaction changes as the titrant is added to the analyte.

Answer 8

Titration Curve

Question 9

Stages in the titration

Answer 9

Pre-equivalence point
Equivalence point – end point
Post-equivalence point

Question 10

Equivalence points in acid-base titrations are determined most often using _____ that change color at or near equivalence point.

Answer 10

Chemical indicators

Question 11

_____ are WEAK ORGANIC acids or bases whose conjugate forms have different colors.

Answer 11

Acid-base indicators

Question 12

T/F
It must be WEAKER than the ANALYTE acid or base that it reacts last with the titrant.

Answer 12

T

Question 13

An average observer visualizes color imparted by a typical indicator within concentration ratio: _____

Answer 13

[Hin] / [In-] = 10 to 0.1

Question 14

It is the point in titration having the GREATEST SLOPE.

Answer 14

Inflection point

Question 15

It very nearly coincides with the equivalence point.

Answer 15

Inflection point

Question 16

T/F
To MINIMIZE titration error, an indicator’s entire transition pH range must fall WITHIN the rapid change in pH at the equivalence point.

Answer 16

T

Question 17

This is the use of strong acids or strong bases.

Answer 17

Standard solution (titrant)

Question 18

This react more completely with an analyte, yielding a sharper endpoint.

Answer 18

Standard solution (titrant)

Question 19

It is widely used for titration of bases

Answer 19

HCl

Question 20

It is a strong acid and dilute solutions are stable with little or reducing power.

Answer 20
