02/02/16 - 1/2 and 3/4 AP Chem - U10 Buffers and Titration Curves

Titration Curves



(...but wait, there's more)
-----------------------------------------------------------



Learning Goals

    1. Solve titration equivalence point problems using the shortcut.
    2. Explain why the pH at the equivalence point is:
      1. neutral for strong acid/strong base.
      2. basic for weak acid vs. strong base.
      3. acidic for weak base vs. strong acid
    3. Explain that weak acids and strong acids require the same amount of base to be neutralized because the weak acids will dissociate during neutralization.
    4. Determine the equivalence point (stoichiometric point) of a titration by looking at a titration curve.
    5. Determine the pKa of the weak acid being titrated using a titration curve.
    6. Do the eight calculations that will allow a sketch for the pH curve for a weak acid or weak base using ICEE/H-H and BRA:


  1. Agenda

                                1. Bell Ringer
                                  1. Get calculators, paper and copy of pics.  You will need a pencil and maybe some colored pencils, highlighters...
                                  2. Pick up a set of six handouts for today and your U10 I Can if you don't have one.  Sorry for all of the copies.  I actually didn't mean too.
                                2. Housekeeping
                                  1. Inquiry Pre-lab

                                    Big Ideas
                                    • Big Idea 3:  Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons.
                                    • Big Idea 6:  Any bond or intermolecular attraction that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in a dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations.
