Data set 4: Understanding acid–base titration curves (12 marks)


Item 1: The base must be in the conical flask because the solution becomes increasingly acidic. (1 mark)
Item 2: Because the initial pH of the 1 mol L−1 base is not very high, it must be a weak base.  (2 marks)
Item 3: (4 marks)

Volume added from the burette (mL)
Item 4: W
 hen half the volume of acid (to reach the equivalence point) has been added, the pH is equal to the pKa of the
conjugate acid of the weak base. Since the pH is about 10 at this point, the pKa of the conjugate acid of the weak
base is about 10.
For a conjugate pair, the pKb of the base can be calculated from the formula:
14 = pK a + pK b

So pKb(weak base) + 10 = 14
pKb(weak base) = 14 − 10 = 4 (2 marks)
Item 5: A buffer solution is prepared by mixing approximately equal amounts of a weak acid and its conjugate base. It
resists changes to pH.  (3 marks)
