SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the titration of 200.0 mL of 0.100 M diethylamine ((C2H5)2NH) with 0.100 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), focusing on determining the pH at the equivalence point. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is mentioned as a tool for calculating pH, but it is clarified that it is not applicable at the equivalence point, where the moles of acid equal the moles of base. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the pH ranges of various buffers and the concept that there is no buffer present at the equivalence point.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base titration principles
  • Familiarity with the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
  • Knowledge of pKa values for relevant acids and bases
  • Basic concepts of buffer solutions and their behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the calculation of pH at the equivalence point for weak base-strong acid titrations
  • Learn how to apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation in various scenarios
  • Research the pKa values of common weak bases like diethylamine
  • Explore online resources for acid-base titration calculations, such as www.titrations.info
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in laboratory work related to acid-base titrations and buffer solutions.

Homework Statement


Supposed to rank a bunch of titrations in order of pH; Here is one of the many...
200.0 mL of 0.100 M (C2H5)2NH (Kb = 1.3 x 10-3) by 0.100 M HCl

Homework Equations


Henderson–Hasselbalch equation?

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't even know where to start, I'm trying to help a friend (obv. doing a great job).
If someone could help do this one I think I'll remember how to do these questions.

I mean the pH at the equivalence point of the titration

What it sounds like you are looking for are the various pH ranges that every buffer has. The equivalence point is when the moles of acid = moles of base (not necessarily pH=7); so various inorganic and organic buffers will have equivalence points in certain ranges that are suitable to various applications, i.e. reactions. You can use the H.H. equation and known pKa value to calculate pH for various buffers

There is no buffer at the equivalence point.

Well... technically you can argue that it exists. But Henderson-Hasselbalch equation will fail miserably.
 
Sorry for the last reply, your replies were too late to help my friend. But I still want to know for my own benefit, so thanks.
