ENDPOINT CALCULATIONS
Endpoint Basics
1. Write the net equation for the reaction when solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are
mixed.

In a titration, the endpoint occurs when moles of ______ (from the acid) equal the moles of ______ (from
the base). This is also called the equivalence point.

2. For a strong acid – strong base titration, the pH at the endpoint is always _____.

Endpoint Volume
3. How many mL of 0.100 M NaOH is needed to titrate (neutralize) 20.0 mL of 0.125 M HCl?

This can be accomplished by a line equation:

or by a simple formula: VA x MA = VB x MB. Where A = [H+] and B = [OH].

4. How many mL of 0.250 M KOH is needed to titrate a 35.0 mL sample of 0.833 M HC2H3O2.

5. How many mL of 0.100 M Ca(OH)2 is needed to titrate 25.0 mL of 0.250 M HCl.

6. What volume of 0.150 M NaOH is needed to titrate 15.0 mL of 0.100 M H2SO4?

7. What is the molarity of HCl if a 15.0 mL sample of the acid is neutralized by 27.5 mL of 0.200 M KOH?

8. 0.750 grams of the acid salt NaHSO4 is titrated with 0.200 M NaOH. What volume of base is needed?
pH at the Endpoint
“4. How many mL of 0.250 M KOH is needed to titrate a 35.0 mL sample of 0.833 M HC2H3O2.”

9. Look again at Question #4. Write the balanced net equation for that reaction.

10. How many moles of HC2H3O2 reacted in Question #4? (Remember: volume x M = moles)

11. The moles of C2H3O2 formed come from the HC2H3O2 reacted.
How many moles of C2H3O2 is in solution at the endpoint?

12. What is the total volume of acid + base in Question #4 (in Liters)? ____________ L

13. What is the [C2H3O2]? _____________ M

14. Calculate the pH at the endpoint of this titration. Ka of HC2H3O2 = 1.8 x 105. (Hint: Use an ICE Box)

15. Benzoic acid is a weak monoprotic acid (Ka = 6.3 x 10-5). Calculate the pH of the solution at the
equivalence point when 25.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of benzoic acid is titrated against 0.050 M sodium
hydroxide.
