Assume you are carrying out the titration of 50 mL of a 0.025 M solution of acetic acid with 0.1023 MNaOH. Acetic acid has aKaof 1.8×10−5.
(a) Calculate the pH of the solution at V= 0, V= 0.3Veq, V=Veq, and V= 1.2Veq. (Veq is the equivalence point volume)
(b) If a phenolphthalein indicator was used in this titration, where would the apparent endpoint occur? Assume the apparent endpoint would occur at the end of the color range of the indicator (pH’s of 8.0-9.6).
