|
Problem: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are a chemist working for an independent laboratory. You are leading a big project in which your team is performing quality control tests on two different acid products from different manufacturers. Although when you received the two samples, the different products were mislabeled and now you and your team have no idea which acid is which. You know the two samples is one of the two different weak acid solutions of unknown concentration. What are you going to do?? |

|
Table 1: |

|
|
Weak acid Ionization constant, Ka |
|
|
|
Hypochlorous acid 3.0 x 10^-8
Acetic Acid 1.75 x 10^-5 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Solution!! |
|
|
|
You decide to go ahead and perform acid-base titrations of the two unidentified acid solutions. Titration is used to determine the concentrations of a substance in a solution. |
