Question

1) How many moles of NaOH would you need to neutralize 50.0 mL of 0.250M Acetic Acid? 2) A student performs an aqueous titration between an unknown polyprotic acid with a knowrn concentration of strong base. A pH vs. mL of NaOH graph yields quantitative information that show multiple equivalency points. By performing a derivative on these data, the student will more easily determine a. ...the volume of strong acid required to attain the buffer regions b. ...the volume of strong base required to attain the equivalency points. c. ...the volume of acid and base required to attain zen moments. d. .the pH of the strong acid.

Explanation / Answer

Q1

write the equation

CH3COOH + NaOH = H2O + NaCH3COO

then, ratio is 1:1

get mol of acid

mol of acid = MV = (0.25)(50*10^-3) = 0.0125 mol of acid

mol of NaOH required for --> 0.0125 mol of base
