Calculating Concentration of Acid using a pH Titration Curve

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the concentration of an acid (HA) using a pH titration curve. The key method involves utilizing the equivalence volume from the titration curve and applying the stoichiometric relationship defined by the equation n = CV, where n is the number of moles, C is the concentration, and V is the volume. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying the equivalence point on the titration curve to accurately determine the concentration of the acid.

Hint: this is a simple stoichiometry (combined with n=CV). Titration curve is just a way of finding out when the amount of added titrant was equivalent to the amount of the acid present.
