🌟 Question 1 Solution

Given:

 HCl: 25.0 cm³ of 0.1 mol/dm³

 Titrated with NaOH of unknown concentration

 Average volume of NaOH used = (25.30 + 25.30 + 25.20) / 3 = 25.27 cm³

Balanced Equation:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
(Mole ratio: 1:1)

a) Concentration of NaOH

Moles of HCl
0.0025 mol

Since ratio is 1:1, moles of NaOH = 0.0025 mol

Concentration of NaOH
0.099 mol/dm³

b) Titration Curve Sketch (Strong Acid + Strong Base)

 x-axis: Volume of NaOH added (cm³)

 y-axis: pH

 Starts at pH ≈ 1

 Sharp vertical jump at equivalence point (~pH 7)

 Ends at pH ≈ 13

🌼 Question 2 Solution

Given:

 CH₃COOH: 25.0 cm³ of 0.1 mol/dm³


 Average NaOH used = (28.30 + 28.40 + 28.40) / 3 = 28.37 cm³

Equation:
CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COONa + H₂O
(1:1 ratio)

a) Concentration of NaOH

Moles of CH₃COOH
0.0025 mol

Moles of NaOH = 0.0025 mol

Concentration of NaOH
0.0881 mol/dm³

b) Titration Curve (Weak Acid + Strong Base)

 x-axis: Volume of NaOH added

 y-axis: pH

 Starts at pH ≈ 3

 Buffer region (gentle slope) up to equivalence

 Sharp rise near equivalence (pH ~8.5)

 Ends around pH ≈ 13

⚗️Question 3 Solution

Given:

 H₂SO₄: 25.0 cm³ of 0.2 mol/dm³

 Average KOH used = (49.90 + 49.90 + 50.00) / 3 = 49.93 cm³

Balanced Equation:
H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
(1:2 ratio)

a) Concentration of KOH

Moles of H₂SO₄
0.005 mol
Moles of KOH

0.01 mol

Concentration of KOH
0.2002 mol/dm³

b) Titration Curve (Strong Acid + Strong Base)

🌊 Question 4 Solution

Given:

 HNO₃: 25.0 cm³ of 0.1 mol/dm³

 Average NH₃ used = (24.70 + 24.80 + 24.80 + 24.90)/4 = 24.80 cm³

 x-axis: Volume of NH₃ added

 y-axis: pH

 Starts at pH ≈ 1
 Rises gradually

 Equivalence point around pH 5.5–6

 Ends at pH ≈ 11

 No sharp vertical rise like strong base
