Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and

The Ka and Molar Mass of a Monoprotic Weak Acid Chemistry Lab 152 Professor: James Giles November 7‚ 2012 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the pKa‚ Ka‚ and molar mass of an unknown acid (#14). The pKa was found to be 3.88‚ the Ka was found to be 1.318 x 10 -4‚ and the molar mass was found to be 171.9 g/mol. Introduction Acids differ considerable as to their strength. The difference between weak and

________________________ Internal Assessment Criteria Aspect 1 Aspect 2 Aspect 3 Total DCP CE Aim: The aim of this practical is to plot and investigate the pH titration curves for the titration of a strong acid with a strong base and of a weak acid with a strong base‚ and find Ka of the weak acid. Procedure: Part I 1. Pour 30 ml of the HCl solution of unknown concentration in a 100 ml beaker. 2. Add a stirring magnet. 3. Place the beaker on the magnetic heater and activate the rotating motor but not
Premium Acid PH Titration
Determination of Ka for a Weak Acid Introduction In the experiment preformed the objective is to titrate a weak acid with a strong base. In a titration of a weak acid with a strong base the titrant is the strong base and the analyte is a weak acid. The reaction that will occur is the direct transfer of protons from the weak acid to the hydroxide ion. The data gathered will be represented on the titration curve‚ a graph of the volume of titrant being the strong base plotted against the pH .The

Mejia Chem 101 Section ADF Lab 4: Weak Acid Unknown Procedure: When testing the acid‚ use only between 0.2 g and 0.3 g for each trial (get as precise a measurement as you can). The general procedure is to weigh out your acid‚ dissolve it in water‚ add a couple drops of the indicator (phenolphthalein)‚ and then add the sodium hydroxide until you note a color change (from clear to pink). When the color change occurs‚ you have added enough base to completely react with the acid (the endpoint). You are

The purpose of the Weak Acid Dissociation experiment is to determine the dissociation constant of a weak acid experimentally by using acid-base titration with a strong base and stoichiometry. An acid-base titration is a method by which a basic (or acidic) solution of unknown concentration is reacted with an acidic (or basic) solution of known concentration. (1) The pH in acid-base titration is measured using a pH meter or color changing indicator‚ such as phenolphthalein‚ as the known solution is

Weak Acid Titration Abstract: Our method for determining the unknown weak acid was to determine the equilibrium constant K from the molecular weight of the weak acid from our titration data. In this lab the acid Potassium hydrogen phthalate and two unknown acids were titrated. We determined the molar mass of the Potassium hydrogen phthalate‚ for the unknown acids we calculated the molar mass and the Ka values. We used NaOH as the known base for titrating in all three of the titrations. Our

Determination of : Titration of a Weak Acid Introduction: We will be using the LoggerPro and LabPro in order to help us determine our data. The purpose of this experiment is to follow the changes of pH during the titration of an acid and a base in order to determine the of the weak acid‚ . is a constant for a given acid at a given temperature. In this experiment we determined the Ka using two different methods: 1) the measurement of the pH of a solution containing a known concentration of a weak
