1. If the acid or base is too weak or too dilute, there is very little change in pH at the
equivalence point. This makes it difficult to have a satisfactory end point.

3. The equation for the titration of a weak base, B, with a strong acid is

Solutions for Acid-Base Titrations Exercises
50.0 mL base
At the equivalence point all of the formic acid has been converted to its conjugate
base so you have a solution of a weak base.
60.0 mL base
At this point 10.0 mL extra base has beeen added and you have a solution of a
weak base and strong base. The OH- contribution from the weak base is not
significant so the pH depends on the excess OH- present.
excess mol OH- added = (0.0100 L)(0.050 mol OH-/L) = 0.00050 mol
5. This occurs when the titrant volume is one-half that needed to reach the
equivalence point. Here, half the base (B) has been converted to its conjugate
acid (HB+) and [B] = [HB+] and pH = pKa. At this point a small addition of acid
will have the least effect on the [B]/[HB+] ratio and hence on the pH.

6. When the titrant volume is one-half that needed to reach the equivalence point.
half the weak acid (HA) has been converted to its conjugate base (A-), buffer is
formed and [HA] = [A-]. The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation looks like this
At this point the principal electrolyte in solution is NaA. Half the starting moles of
A- are now in a volume 50% larger so [NaA] = 0.0333 M. Thus, μ = 0.0333 M.

8. The ratio [HIn]/[In-] changes from 10:1 when pH = pKHIn - 1 to 1:10 when pH =
pKHIn + 1. This change is generally sufficient to cause a color change.
pH = 3.0 - yellow
10. No. The titration produces a solution of the conjugate base at the equivalence
point. This solution will have a pH > 7 which is well outside the color transition
range for bromocresol green.
