Use the following information to answer questions 1–5.

A student titrates 20.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH with 2.0 M formic acid, HCO2H

(Ka = 1.8 × 10-4). Formic acid is a monoprotic acid.

Question 1:

A solution of 0.05 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is being titrated into 20.0 mL of formic acid (HCOOH) of unknown concentration. It takes 10.0 mL, 0.05 M of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the concentration of the formic acid solution?

Options:

  • (A) 0.050 M
  • (B) 0.100 M
  • (C) 0.200 M
  • (D) 0.500 M
View Answer
Answer Explanation:
To find the concentration of the formic acid, use the titration formula:
\[
C_{\text{acid}} \times V_{\text{acid}} = C_{\text{base}} \times V_{\text{base}}
\]
\[
C_{\text{acid}} \times 20.0\,\text{mL} = 0.1\,\text{M} \times 10.0\,\text{mL}
\]
\[
C_{\text{acid}} = \frac{0.1\,\text{M} \times 10.0\,\text{mL}}{20.0\,\text{mL}} = 0.050\,\text{M}
\]
Correct Answer: (A)
        

Question 2:

At the equivalence point, is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral? Why?

Options:

  • (A) Acidic; the strong acid dissociates more than the weak base
  • (B) Basic; the only acidic or basic ion present at equilibrium is the conjugate base
  • (C) Basic; the higher concentration of the base is the determining factor
  • (D) Neutral; equal moles of both acid and base are present
View Answer
Correct Answer: (B)
        

Question 3:

If the formic acid were replaced with a strong acid such as HCl at the same concentration (2.0 M), how would that change the volume needed to reach the equivalence point?

Options:

  • (A) The change would reduce the amount, as the acid now fully dissociates
  • (B) The change would reduce the amount, because the base will be more strongly attracted to the acid.
  • (C) The change would increase the amount, because the reaction will now go to completion instead of equilibrium
  • (D) Changing the strength of the acid will not change the volume needed to reach equivalence.
