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

Read the following chemical equation: Ti + 2Cl2 → TiCl4 Which statement best identifies and describes the reducing agent in the
goldenfox [79]

Answer: Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.
  • The reducing agent: is the agent that has been oxidized via losing electrons.
  • The oxidizing agent: is the agent that has been reduced via gaining electrons.
  • Here, Ti losses 4 electrons and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to +4 and Cl₂  gains one electron  and its oxidation state is changed from 0 to -1.
  • So, Ti is the reducing agent because its oxidation state changes from  0 to +4.
  • Cl₂ is the oxidizing agent because its oxidation state changes from 0 to -1.
  • Thus, The right answer is Ti is the reducing agent because it changes from 0 to +4 oxidation state.

Calculate the density in g/mL of 2.0L of gasoline that weighs 1.26 kg
quester [9]
2.0 L in mL :

2.0 x 1000 => 2000 mL 

1.26 kg in g :

1.26 x 1000 => 1260 g

D = mass / volume

D = 1260 / 2000

D = 0.63 g/mL

hope this helps!

How do density, pressure, and temperature change as the depth of Earth increases?
Elodia [21]
I’m pretty sure the answer is a as you go further down you will be heading towards the core meaning the temperature and will increase and I’m sure that will apply to pressure and density as well
