Phenolphthalein was the indicator you used in your titration.

a. What made phenolphthalein a good choice of indicator? (Meaning, how do you choose an appropriate indicator for a titration.)

b.You used only a couple drops of a 1% solution. Why is it important to use such a small quantity of indicator in a titration?

c.The point where the color changed is known as the end point. What is the difference between the end point and equivalence point?

d.Can the end point be used quantitatively? Why or why not?

A chemical process stream enters a shell-and-tube exchanger at a temperature of 200 °F and does two passes on the shell side, exiting the exchanger at 170 °F. For this particulate scenario, the heat exchanger has 200 stainless steel tubes that are 2-in. OD and 10 ft long. Indicate whether the temperature of the process stream will increase, decrease, or remain the same under the following scenarios. Justify your answer. a) The flow rate of the cooling fluid is increased. b) There are 100 tubes that are 1.5-in. OD and 26.6 ft long. c) The number of shell passes is doubled. d) The tube material is changed to copper.

A 500 mL buffer is usually prepared with 46 mM carbonic acid and 58 mM sodium bicarbonate. Unfortunately you have run out of these reagents; on hand you have the following: solid citric acid, disodium maleate (salt of maleic acid), benzylamine and hydrochloric acid. Which reagent(s), and how much of each, would you need to use to produce a 500 mL buffer with the same formal concentration and pH as the carbonic acid buffer

Chemical concentration or MW Mass or volume needed
Citric acid 192.124g/mol
Disodium Maleate 2.6M
Benzylamine 1.4M
HCl 3M
water

I calculated the original pH of the solution to be 6.452 and the original amount of moles to be 0.052.

What I'm stuck on is how to properly make a buffer without a strong conjugate for the colution
