1. Oxalic acid can not be used as aprimary standard for acid-base titrations.

2. Phenolphtahlein acts as an indicator for complete reaction of NaOH and half reaction of Na2CO3 while
methyl orange is an indicator for complete reaction of NaHCO3.. Thus, solution conains NaOH and
Na2CO3.

3. It is necessary to boil the solution before completing the titration to destroy the buffering action of the
resulting solution due to the presence of the carbonic acid and unreacted hydrogen carbonate.
4. Inculsion is known as the coprecipitated impurity in which the interfering ion occupies a lattice site in
the precipitate.

12. A buffer solution is one which resists change in pH on addition of acid or base.

13. Buffer is a mixture of a weka acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Also,
any buffer is most effective when concenteartion of acid/base and its conjugate is almost equal. Thus,
best buffer will be formic acid and sodium formate.

14. 1 mole KHP requires 1 mole NaOH to undergo neutralization reaction.

Moles of KHP = Wt of KHP / Molar Mass

= 0.00128 mol

Mol of NaOH = 0.00128 mol

Volume = 12.25 mL = 0.01225 L

Molarity = moles / Volume = 0.00128 mol / 0.01225 L = 0.1045M

15. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator for weak acid-strong base titrations.
