Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around calculating the pH during titrations involving 0.01 M NaOH with ethanoic acid and a subsequent titration with HOBr. Participants are focused on determining the pH at the equivalence point and initial pH values in these acid-base titrations.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Mathematical reasoning
Main Points Raised
- One participant asks for the pH at the equivalence point of a titration involving 0.01 mol L NaOH and 10 mL of ethanoic acid.
- Another participant indicates they have completed the first part and seeks guidance on the next part of the question, which involves titrating 0.01 mol L NaOH with 10 mL of 0.200 mol L HOBr.
- A later post mentions the need to calculate both the initial pH and the pH at the equivalence point for the titration with HOBr, noting its weak acid nature and providing its pKa value.
- One participant shares a link to a resource for pH calculation, suggesting it may assist in the calculations needed for the titrations.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion does not show clear consensus, as participants are at different stages of the problem and are seeking further clarification and calculations.
Contextual Notes
Participants have not provided detailed calculations or assumptions regarding the pH values, and the discussions are limited to the context of the titration scenarios presented.
