Which of the following titrations will have the highest pH at the equivalence point?
A) A titration of 0.25 M CH3N2H (Kb = 4.4x10-4) with 0.25 M HNO3
B) A titration of 0.25 M HClO (Ka = 3.5x10-8) with 0.25 M LiOH
C) A titration of 0.25 M HF (Ka = 7.4x10-4) with 0.25 M LiOH
D) A titration of 0.25 M LiOH with 0.25 M HNO3
E) A titration of 0.25 M C6H5NH2 (Kb = 4.6x10-10) with 0.25 M HNO3
F) A titration of 0.25 M HNO3 with 0.25 M LiOH
Which of the following titrations will have the highest pH at the equivalence point?
strong acid/base titrations = pH = 7
strong acid + weak base titration = acidic pH due to hydrolysis
strong base + weak acid titration = basic pH due to hydrolysis , this is, high pH
so:
choose a weak acid
B) A titration of 0.25 M HClO (Ka = 3.5x10-8) with 0.25 M LiOH
C) A titration of 0.25 M HF (Ka = 7.4x10-4) with 0.25 M LiOH
possible answers:
Kb = Kw/Ka
therefore, stronger acids, have lower KB, so
choose the weaekst acid
B) A titration of 0.25 M HClO (Ka = 3.5x10-8) with 0.25 M LiOH will be the best ansewr
