  • Calculating molarity in an acid/base titration.

    Given this amount of acid, you will need equal number of moles of base to neutralize the acid: 0.0250 moles/(0.03697)L =0.6762 M of NaOH solution. The general formula for this type of question is M(base)V(base)=M(acid)V(acid).

  • Strong Acid, Strong base Titration

    Since the solution is a strong acid/strong base solution, there is neutralization and the solution behaves as a soluton of pure water.

  • Predict if solution is acidic, basic or nearly neutral.

    It is a salt of a strong acid, H2SO4, and a strong base, Mg(OH)2. Therefore, the solution will be neutral. The solution predicts the acidity of a solution.

  • Hydrolysis of salts

    If you form a strong acid then it is acidic, if you form a strong base it is basic, if you form both a strong acid and base then the solution is neutral. NH4 NO3 + H2O --> NH4OH (strong base) + HNO3 (strong acid) neutral solution!

  • Explain in molecular terms strong acid base and week acid base.

    The term strength refers to how efficiently an acid or base separates into its constituent ions in water. In a strong acid or base, the vast majority of the "molecules" break up into ions in solution.

  • Lewis Acids and Bases, pH, and Weak Acids

  • Finding pH at equivalence - Acid Base Titrations

    In a titration experiment, if the initial solution pH is 9.0 and equivalence point occurs at pH 3.0, then the reaction corresponds to a. the titration of a strong acid by a strong base b.

  • Basic, Neutral or Acidic Solution

    Na3PO4 + H2O --> NaOH + HPO4^2- strong base (NaOH), weak acid (HPO4^2-) therefore solution is basic NH4Cl + H2O --> NH4OH + HCL weak base, strong acid.....acidic solution CH3COONa + H2O --> CH3COOH + NaOH strong base, weak acid.....basic solution

  • Acid base titrations and pH.

    of the hydrogen pKa is the equilibrium dissociation constant for an acid [base] is the molar concentration of a basic solution [acid] is the molar concentration of an acidic solution So pH = 5.555 + log (6.667/8) = 5.555 - 0.079
