Titration question 2 equivalence points. Am i right?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the molar mass of a weak acid (HA) and its acid dissociation constant (Ka) using titration data. A sample weighing 0.149 g of HA requires 16.80 mL of 0.110 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point, resulting in a calculated molar mass of 86.63 g/mol. Additionally, the participant correctly identifies that at the half equivalence point, pH equals pKa, leading to a Ka value of 4.17 x 10-5.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of titration principles
  • Knowledge of molar mass calculations
  • Familiarity with pH and pKa concepts
  • Basic grasp of acid-base equilibria
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the calculations for molar mass determination in titrations
  • Learn about the relationship between pH, pKa, and Ka in weak acids
  • Explore the concept of equivalence points in titration
  • Review the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffer solutions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in analytical chemistry or titration experiments will benefit from this discussion.

Titration question 2! equivalence points. Am i right?

Homework Statement


this is the originial question.
A 0.149 g sample of a weak acid (HA) requires 16.80 mL of 0.110 M NaOH to completely reach the equivalence point. What is the Molar Mass of the acid?
and i got 86.63 g/mol. I have already made sure that it is right.

the question continues,
If the pH of the weak acid in question 1 (above) is 4,34 after 8.40 ml of the NaOH was added, what is the Ka of the acid?

Homework Equations



i think i remember this. At the half equivalence point, PH=PKa

The Attempt at a Solution



since PH=Pka at half equivalence point, the PH=10-4.38
giving me 4.17x10-5

am i right? :)

Your concept is correct. I did not examine your values, so just trust your concept and you may do your own rechecking of the values.
