Explain the difference, with sketches, between the titration curves of monoprotic acid and a triprotic acid.

Chemistry

Answer:

A monoprotic acid has only one equivalence point in a titration curve while a triprotic acid has three equivalence points.

Explanation:

Monoprotic acids, HA, are acids that are able to donate one proton per molecule during the process of ionization or dissociation as shown below:

HA ----> H⁺ + A⁻

A triprotic acid is a polyproprotic acid, that is acids that can donate more than one proton per molecule during ionization. a triprotic acid can donate three protons per molecule during the process of ionization. The dissociation of a triprotic acid is shown below;

H₃A -----> H₂A⁻ + H⁺

H₂A⁻ ----> HA²⁻ + H⁺

HA²⁻ -----> A³⁻ + H⁺

The value Ka, is known as the acid dissociation constant. It is found by looking at the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid. The higher the Ka, the more the acid dissociates

A titration curve is the plot of the pH of the analyte solution versus the volume of the titrant added as the titration progresses.

In a titration curve in which base is added to acid, the pH rises slowly until the equivalent point at which point the pH remains constant before it begins to rise again on the addition of more base.

In a titration curve of a monoprotic acid, there is only one region in which the equivalence point is obtained corresponding to the point of acid of dissociation of all its protons.

In the titration curve of a triproprotic acid, three equivalent points are obtained corresponding to the point of dissociation of each of three protons of the triprotic acid.

The titration curves are shown below

Please help, I really don’t understand this!!!

<u>Analysing the Question:</u>

We are given the balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

from this equation, we can say that: <em>for every 1 mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen</em>

<u>Moles of Glucose used in the reaction:</u>

Molar mass of Glucose = 180 grams / mol

Given mass of Glucose = 1 gram

Mole of Glucose = Given mass / Molar mass

Moles of Glucose = 1 / 180 moles

<u>Mass of Oxygen required:</u>

We know that for every mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

So, for 1/180 moles of Glucose, we need 6 / 180 = 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen

Mass of 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen:

Mass = Molar mass * number of moles

Mass of Oxygen = 32 * 1/30

Mass of Oxygen  = 32 / 30

Mass of Oxygen = 1.06 grams

How much heat (in kj) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -12.0 ∘c, to steam at 113.0 ∘c? the heat capacity of ice i
olga nikolaevna [1]
The total amount of heat required is the sum of all the sensible heat and latent heats involved in bringing the ice to a desired temperature and state. The latent heat of fusion and vaporization of water 333.55 J/g and 2260 J/g, respectively. Solving for the total amount of heat,
                   total amount of heat = 13.0 g (2.09 J/gC)(12) + 13(333.55 J/g) + 13.0 g (4.18 J/gC)(100 - 0) + (13.0 g)(2260 J/g) + (13 g)(2.01 J/g)(113-100) 
                                        = 39815.88 J 
                                        = 39.82 kJ
