Answer to Question #344681 in Organic Chemistry for Jaskaran

Question

In this investigation, you will be given a sample of a weak monoprotic acid with an unknown concentration and a standardized 0.1M NaOH solution. You are to design and set up a lab for finding the Ka of the acid.

For the prelab your task is to develop a strategy for finding the Ka of this weak acid. Your Strategy must include the following:

· The chemical equation for the equilibrium system that will help you determine the Ka

· The equilibrium law expression for the above chemical system

· The algebra and an ICE table that you will use to calculate the Ka of this unknown acid

· List of main steps that you will follow to experimentally determine the Ka of this unknown acid
