4 An aqueous solution of acetic acid is titrated with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to the half-equivalence point. The value of the pH of the solution is best described by which of the following? "

5 Are the equivalence point and endpoint the same thing? "

6 Turmeric indicator changes color at a pH of around 8.6. If you are using turmeric to determine the endpoint for the titration of a strong acid with a strong base, which situation will you have? "

7 A 0.1 M solution of ________ has a pH of 7.0. "

8 What is the pH of an aqueous solution at 25.0 °C that contains 3.98 × 10-9 M hydroxide ion?

Explanation / Answer

Let us consider the initial pH to be x.

So, the concentration of H3O+ initially was= [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-x

Now, after the pH is changed by one unit less, the pH become (x-1).

So, the final concentration of H3O+ becomes= [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-(x-1)

Therefore, (Initial concentration)/(final concentration) = (10(x-1))/ (10x)= 1/10.

Hence, the final concentration of H3O+ is 10 times that of the initial concentration.

Part 2:

If a solution is acidic, and turmeric indicator is used, then, the colour of the turmeric solution remains yellow.
