definitely a QOD...

Consider a pH titration of 50 mL 0.1 M benzoic acid vs 0.1M NaOH at 25°C. The experimentally observed curve is shown below, on which points A, B, C…… F are marked.

a) Which point corresponds to approximately 0.07 M
benzoic acid solution?
b) Suppose you are carrying out a conventional titration of benzoic acid and NaOH. Using choose an appropriate indicator from the table below.the answer obtained

Indicator pH range Colour change
Methyl yellow 2.9 - 4.0 red-yellow
Methyl orange 3.1 – 4.4 red-orange
Phenolphthalein 8.0 - 9.8 colorless-red

Mujhe .."which indicator to use" me bahut din se doubt hai... :(

flask..hm..[9][9][9].........

For 2nd one i am not getting it....[12]

hey Priyam just consider the pH range da u'll get it.........

1. use,

M1V1-M2V2=MV

solving, ans=15, as priyam has told and ans= B

haan 2nd wala mere ko nahi aata... :(

To find the equivalence point Phenolphthalein should be used as seen from the curve

Abhishek Priyam ·

We have to use such indicator... (whose range includes..neutral point ph=7).. am i right..??

Manish Shankar ·

@ priyam....a little mistake...be careful with this

let the volume added be V

milliequivalent of acid =5
milliequivalent of NaOH =0.1*V=V/10

remaining meq of acid=5-V/10

total volume=V+50

(5-V/10)/(V+50)=0.07=7/100

500V-10V=7V+350
17V=150
V=9 ml

Q.1 Point B.

Benzoic acid is taken in flask and then NaOH is added..
Now 0.07 M benzoic acid means... 0.03(50) M.eq is used up by NaOH..

M.eq of NaOH=0.03(50)
0.1(v)=1.5
V=15ml NaOH

so point B

no the ans is metyl orange ......

@manish bhaiya

hmm.... lekin issse koi point nahi aa raha q me....

For second one

at volume of 50 ml pH=7

if you add 1 drop more the pH becomes 9 etc.

so you will be able to see the change in colour of indicator

Re: definitely a QOD...

USE PHENOLPHTHALEIN

1357
Manish Shankar ·

point B can be taken approximately

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

Phenolphthalein 8.0 - 9.8 colorless-red

means

Phenolp is colorless for pH<8
and red for pH>9.8

Manish Shankar ·

part b seems incomplete because it is not asking for the equivalence point

I think there is something missing from the question
please find it

1357
Manish Shankar ·

I saw the Incho paper

they are asking for the half equivalence point

now try guys

dis was ques askd in incho......

deepanshu001 agarwal ·

yes MATRIX it is
i noe ppl lyk u never go wrong
but bro post d soln 2 and hv a luk at second ques

MATRIX ·

deepan i think itz methyl orange as itz pH range suggests.......

deepanshu001 agarwal ·

yes it is .....
explaination de de mere bhai
dis ques wasnt meant for ur practic but was my doubt
