    Titration Curve

    weak base with strong acid

    The START of the titration is the same as


    a regular (type 1) weak base problem. You
    know Kb and [B] so you can calculate pH.
    buffer zone
    a “type 2” calculation B + H2O BH+ + OH-

    conjugate ratios are known,


    use Henderson-Hasselbach
    to calculate pH. pH’s are
    generally above 7 here.
    pH = 7.00 pH = 7.00
    pH
    The equivalence point
    (endpoint) is the same as a regular
    (type 1) salt of a weak base problem overshoot
    (BHX). You know [BH+] and you
    can calculate pH. Also note that the This region is calculated simply
    pH must be less than 7 due to the by determining the amount of
    ionization of BH+.
    H+ in EXCESS that has been added.
    BH+ B + H+ No equilibrium calculations necessary.

    mL of acid added

    The half-way point


    is important! pH = pKa

    After you have determined the equivalence point for


    (endpoint) of the titration, go to half that value. BH+ !
    The pH at the half-titration point is equal to the
    pKa of the weak acid, BH+. To get the pKb of the
    base (B) you MUST subtract the pKa from 14. The
    reason for this is that the pOH is actually what
    equals the pKb.
    endpoint
    (complete titration)
    pKb = 14 - pKa half titration
