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

How could you use melting and boiling point to identify a substance
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

At low temperatures than melting point the substance remain as a solid. Then from melting point temperature to boiling point the substance will remain as a liquid. This is the temperature at which a liquid become a gas. When we increase the temperature of a liquid it will become gas at its boiling point.

what does a large positive standard cell potential imply about the spontenty of the redox reaction occuring in teh cell
marta [7]

Answer : E cell standard is the potential difference between the two electrodes under standard conditions. Overall tendency for the redox reaction to occur spontaneously. A large positive E cell means the reaction is more spontaneous, and a negative E cell indicates a non spontaneous reaction.
