(V at half-equivalence point)
= ______
pH at half-equivalence point: _______
V
½ ep

(b) Find a published pK
value (or find a K
value and calculate the pK
yourself) for your acid (check your

(b) Using YOUR experimental K
value (and other "amounts" from above, as needed) calculate a
a
value for what the pH "should" be (according to theory) at the following points:
(i) at the beginning of the titration.

Comment on the agreement between the calculated and experimental values.
(ii) at the equivalence point.

Interpolate, if necessary!! Ask me if you do not know how to do an interpolation.
