Weak Acid-Strong Base Titration (17.3.3)

Question 1

• Since a weak acid does not completely dissociate on its own, the titration of a weak acid with a strong base is very different from the titration of a strong acid.

Answer 1

• Since a weak acid does not completely dissociate on its own, the titration of a weak acid with a strong base is very different from the titration of a strong acid.

Question 2

• The titration curve of a weak acid is very similar to that of a strong acid; however, the pH at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration is above 7.0.

Answer 2

• The titration curve of a weak acid is very similar to that of a strong acid; however, the pH at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration is above 7.0.
