pH Titration Curves and Acid-Base Systems Analysis
Explore pH titration curves, alpha plots, and the behavior of acid-base systems in various scenarios such as strong/weak acids and bases, polyprotic acids like the carbonate system. Understand pH control in acid-base states using Henderson-Hasselbalch equations and find the form of species at specific pH values.

Polyprotic Acids: the carbonate system Ka1 = 4.2 x 10-7 Ka2 = 4.8 x 10-11 H2CO3 HCO3- CO32- What is the pH of a 0.10 M solution of H2CO3? What is [CO32-] in this solution?
Polyprotic Acids: the carbonate system Ka1 = 4.2 x 10-7 Ka2 = 4.8 x 10-11 H2CO3 HCO3- CO32- What is the pH of a 0.10 M solution of H2CO3? What is [CO32-] in this solution?

When pH Controls Acid-Base State Situations where an acid-base species is a minor component in a solution where other things control the pH. Henderson-Hasselbalch and Alpha plots. HF + H2O H3O+ + F-. [base] pH = pK + log[acid] a Ka = 7.4 x 10-4 pKa = 3.13 pH [base]/[acid] 1.13 2.13 3.13 4.13 5.13
When pH Controls Acid-Base State [base] pH = pK + log[acid] a HF + H2O H3O+ + F-. Ka = 7.4 x 10-4 pKa = 3.13 At pH 4.9, in what form is the HF/F- system found?
Alpha Plot for an acid-base system with pKa = 9 [base] pH = pK + log[acid] a
Alpha Plot for the carbonate system H2CO3 HCO3- CO32- [base] Ka1 = 4.2 x 10-7 pH = pK + log[acid] a Ka2 = 4.8 x 10-11
Alpha Plot for the carbonate system H2CO3 HCO3- CO32- [base] Ka1 = 4.2 x 10-7 pH = pK + log[acid] a Ka2 = 4.8 x 10-11 For the carbonate system, at what pH is hydrogen carbonate, HCO3-, expected to predominate?
pH Indicators pH indicators are weak acid-base pairs for which the acid and base differ in color. The pH they change color at is the pKa of the weak acid.
pH Indicators The color change should occur at the steep inflection of the titration end-point. Titration of HClO
When pH Controls Acid-Base State: Amino Acids Situations where an acid-base species is a minor component in a solution where other things control the pH. pH = 0.00 pH = 2.34
pH = 0.00 pH = 2.34 pH = 7.00 pH = 9.60 pH = 13.00
