A student began his careful titration with an air bubble in the buret tip. The bubble was released, unnoticed, before reaching the equivalence point on the titration curve.

a) Predict the effect on the measured volume of NaOH added to reach the equivalence point.

b) Predict the effect on the measured equivalence point pH value.

Expert Solution

During the begining of a titration to standardize the NaOH solution,that student adjusted very carefully the initial burette volume to 0.00 ml,but he was not able to notice an air bubble in the tip of the burette.

At the end of the titration the bubble is gone,whihc means the volume measured is the volume of the titration + volume of bubble i.e its too large

Let us take an example of acid(standardised) vs base titration .The titrant (acid) is taken in a burette ,while base taken in a conical flask.Because of the presence of bubble at the tip ,extra amount of acid is entered in to the conical flask

According to the formulae

M_A V_A = M_B V_B ,Where M_A molarity of acid, V_A is( volume of acid required to complete the titration+acid containing bubble)

M_B is molarity of base, V_B is the volume of base taken in conical flask

M_B = M_A V_A,, where V_A is increases because of that bubble ,

V_B

Therefore equivalence point of the titration is high compared to the same titration perfomed when bubble is absent
While the p^H of the solution is low because of extra acidic component present in the solution(<7)

Titration Lab Why are air bubbles in buret tip a possible source of error in a titration experiment? When you reached the endpoint, the color of the solution went from colorless to a light pink. What does the endpoint tell you?

1) Assume an air bubble had been in the buret tip when you took your first reading and it was replaced by NaOH during the course of the titration. Would your experimental value for the concentration of NaOH be too high, too low, or unchanged as compared to the true value? Explain 2) Assume the buret had been wet with water because it was not adequately rinsed with base. Would your experimental value for concentration of NaOH be too high,...

A soap bubble is floating in the air. The refractive index of the bubble is n = 1.33. The width of the wall is 115 nm. The light that hits the bubble is reflected on the outer and inner surface and both interfere once they leave. The difference in phase for both for both lights will be wt, where t is the time it takes for the light to go and return through the soap layer (t = d /...

"In the weak acid titration, if you had not prepared your buret properly and a considerable amount of water was left in it, what would have been the effect on the calculated value of Ka?" I generally know that the Ka of an acid remains constant no matter what, but in this case, the Ka of the weak acid being titrated can be determined and is equal to the pH at half equivalence. How would a more dilute strong base...

A student collected H2 gas in a buret by displacing water at 22.0 °C. The burette could not be submerged deep enough in a water bath to equalize the pressure. The water level in the burette was 18.2 cm above the water level in the water bath. The volume of the gas in the burette was determined to be 38.6 mL. (Assume ideal behavior of H2.) A)If the atmospheric pressure was 748 mm Hg, what is the pressure of the...
