a. Sketch the graph of pH that would be obtained when 10.0 cm 3 of 0.200 mol
Question:
a. Sketch the graph of pH that would be obtained when 10.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm–3 HCl is titrated against 0.200 mol dm–3 aqueous ammonia.
b. Explain why methyl orange is a suitable indicator for this titration but phenolphthalein is not.
c. Sketch the graph that would be obtained if 25.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm–3 sodium hydroxide is titrated against 0.100 mol dm–3 ethanoic acid solution.
d. Explain why phenolphthalein is a suitable indicator for this titration but methyl orange is not.
e. Bromocresol green and bromothymol blue are indicators. Their pKa values are: bromocresol green = 4.7 and bromothymol blue = 7.0. Would either of these indicators be suitable for the titration in part a or the titration in part c? Explain your answer.
