2. CHM 112 Summer 2007 M. Prushan The common ion effect is the shift in equilibrium caused by the addition of a compound having an ion in common with the dissolved substance. The presence of a common ion suppresses the ionization of a weak acid or a weak base. Consider mixture of CH 3 COONa (strong electrolyte) and CH 3 COOH (weak acid). CH 3 COONa (s) Na + (aq) + CH 3 COO - (aq) CH 3 COOH (aq) H + (aq) + CH 3 COO - (aq) common ion

9. CHM 112 Summer 2007 M. Prushan Titrations In a titration a solution of accurately known concentration is added gradually added to another solution of unknown concentration until the chemical reaction between the two solutions is complete. Equivalence point – the point at which the reaction is complete Indicator – substance that changes color at (or near) the equivalence point Slowly add base to unknown acid UNTIL The indicator changes color (pink)
