The purpose of the Weak Acid Dissociation experiment is to determine the dissociation constant of a weak acid experimentally by using acid-base titration with a strong base and stoichiometry. An acid-base titration is a method by which a basic (or acidic) solution of unknown concentration is reacted with an acidic (or basic) solution of known concentration. (1) The pH in acid-base titration is measured using a pH meter or color changing indicator‚ such as phenolphthalein‚ as the known solution is

DETERMINING THE EQUIVALENT MASS AND DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF AN UNKNOWN WEAK ACID BY TITRIMETRY INTRODUCTION Acids are substances that donate hydrogen ions and bases are substances that accept hydrogen ions. Acids and bases react with each other by transferring hydrogen ions. One way to distinguish an acid is by its equivalent mass‚ which is the number of grams of the acid needed to transfer one mole of hydrogen ion to a base. For a monoprotic acid‚ which only transfers one hydrogen ion‚ its

Melissa Carrithers AP Chemistry period 6 2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and

mixtures and find the dissociation constant of acetic acid Chemistry (HL) Research Question: To determine the pH of various mixtures of sodium acetate and acetic acid in an aqueous solution and hence to find the dissociation constant of the acetic acid. Background: The mixture of sodium acetate and acetic acid in aqueous solution is a buffer solution. Buffer solutions are the solutions which resist a sudden change in the pH due to addition of small amounts of strong acid or base. An acidic buffer

Determination of the Rate Constant for a Chemical Reaction Department of Chemistry Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the rate constant k‚ for hydrolysis of tertiary butyl chloride to tertiary butanol. The solvent system for this reaction is 45% isopropyl alcohol and 55% water. The rate of hydrolysis of t-butyl chloride is measured by the decrease in the concentration of this reagent with time. The rate of decomposition of t-butyl chloride must be equal to the rate of formation
