The titration of a weak acid with a strong base is a common exercise in chemistry labs. We have looked at all of the individual types of calculations needed to determine the pH at any point of a titration.

Consider the titration of 0.100 L of 0.300 M acetic acid with 1.50 NaOH.

What type of calculation will we be performing at the following points of the titration curve?

Answers can be used more than once: -weak acid calculation -buffer calculation -conjugate base calculation -strong base calculation

1. Zero equivalents of base added
2. 0.15 equivalents of base added
3. One equivalent of base added
4. 1.75 equivalents of base added
