Titration Curves What’s in the beaker
Always ask… What’s in the beaker? When I start the titration, there is only water and whatever it is I’m titrating (and maybe indicator, but we’ll ignore that). Let’s titrate HCl with NaOH
10.00 mL of M HCl diluted with 50.0 mL of water What’s in the beaker? Cl - H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H+H+ H+H+ H+H+
I know what’s in the beaker… Now I ask: what reactions are possible? Cl - H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ “What reactions are possible”? H + + H 2 O H + + H 2 O Cl - + H 2 O HCl + OH - H 2 O + H 2 O H 3 O + + OH -
Which reactions matter? NONE! Cl - H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H+H+ H+H+ H+H+ “What reactions are possible”? H + + H 2 O H + + H 2 O Cl - + H 2 O HCl + OH - H 2 O + H 2 O H 3 O + + OH -
10.00 mL of M HCl diluted with 50.0 mL of water What’s the pH? M * 10.0 mL = [HCl]* 60.0 mL [HCl] = x10 -2 M = [H + ] = [Cl - ] (it’s a strong acid) pH = - log ( x10 -2 M) = 1.778

10.00 mL of M HCl diluted with 50.0 mL of water. Then add 2.00 mL of M NaOH. What’s the pH? I like an ICE chart here, just to keep track of things! Moles is better for my ICE chart because of dilution issues M * L = moles HCl initial M NaOH * L = mol NaOH
Always start with a balanced equation. Which one? H++OH - H2OH2O I0.001 mol mol- C mol - End mol0 mol
So… mol H + = 1.29x10 -2 M L pH = - log(1.29x10 -2 M) = Notice, not a lot of change.
10.00 mL of M HCl diluted with 50.0 mL of water. Then add 5.00 mL of M NaOH. What’s the pH? I like an ICE chart here, just to keep track of things! Moles is better for my ICE chart because of dilution issues M * L = moles HCl initial M NaOH * L = mol NaOH

So…. Nothing left….so is [H + ] = 0? Suddenly, one of my reactions is relevant: H 2 O + H 2 O H 3 O+ + OH- The pH is 7 at equivalence because of the K w reaction.

So…. K b = K w = 1.0x = 5.56x K a 1.80x x = (x)(x) X Assume x<<0.069x x = (x)(x) x = x 2 X= 6.19x10 -6 M
pOH = - log 6.19x10 -6 = 5.2 pH = 14 – 5.2 = 8.8 OAc+H2OH2O HOAc+OH - I0.001 mol L -0.0 C -6.19x10 -6 M-+6.19x10 -6 M E 6.9x x10 -6 M
So, for titrations in general… In general, titrations do not have endpoints at pH=7. That only occurs for a strong acid and a strong base. If either the acid or base is weak, then there is a conjugate acid and/or conjugate base floating around at equivalence!
