| When a weak acid and a weak base are dissolved in the same aqueous solution, a buffering effect is observed. To find the pH in a buffered solution you may use the Hasselbalch equation: pH= pKa + log ( base/ acid) For the titriation of a weak acid with a strong base at equlibrium the pH is greater then 7. Strong acid and weak base - pH less then 7 Strong acid and a strong base- a pH of 7 Q = Ksp If the Q is greater then Ksp- then a salt will be produced. |
