GRADE ____ /25 p

An unknown weak acid (Weak Acid #1) is titrated with standardized NaOH (0.3078 M NaOH) and gives the following weak acid
titration (pH vs. VNaOH) and ‘First Derivative’ (∆pH/∆VNaOH vs. VNaOH) curves:

First Derivative ( ΔpH/ ΔV)

Question 1 (1 p). From the curves, what is the VNaOH (volume of titrant base) at the equivalence point for Weak Acid #1?

Question 2 (1 p). For Weak Acid #1, what is the pKa?

Question 3 (2 p). For Weak Acid #1, what is the pH at the equivalence point?

Question 4 (3 p). What is the Kb of the conjugate base of Weak Acid #1? Show all work.

Question 5 (5 p). Assuming the mass of the weak acid used in the titration was 0.185 g, what is the molar mass (MM) of Weak
Acid #1? Show all work. Clearly state all equations (symbolic mathematical expressions) used.
