Consider the following pH curves for 100.0 mL of two different acids with the same initial concentration each titrated by 0.10 M NaOH.
a. Which plot represents a pH curve of a weak acid, and which plot is for a strong acid? How can you tell? Cite three differences between the plots that help you decide.
b. In both cases the pH is relatively constant before the pH changes greatly. Does this mean that at some point in each titration each solution was a buffered solution?
c. True or false? The equivalence point volume for each titration is the same. Explain your answer.
d. True or false? The pH at the equivalence point for each titration is the same. Explain your answer.

- The titration curves for two acids with the same base are shown on this graph. (a) Which is the curve for the weaker acid? Explain your choice. (b) Give the approximate pH at the equivalence point for the titration of each acid. (c) Explain why the pH at the equivalence point differs for each acid. (d) Explain why the starting pH values of the two acids differ. (e) Which indicator or indicators, phenolphthalein, bromthymol blue, or methyl red, could be used for the titration of Acid 1? For the titration of Acid 2?

- Given the titration curve of a weak acid, at which region is the buffer capacity considered maximized? IV II pH II volume of OH- added Select one: O a. Region I, because there is no strong base added O b. Region II, because there is almost equal amounts of weak acid and conjugate base O c. Region III, because it is the equivalence point, where equal amount of base is added to the weak acid O d. Region IV, because the buffer can easily neutralize acid or base at this pointarrow_forward4.
