1) The document discusses acid-base titration curves and determining the pH at any point during the titration of a strong acid with a strong base or a weak acid with a strong base.
2) Key aspects include calculating the equivalence point and determining the pH in four regions: before, at, and after the equivalence point as well as in the buffer region between initial addition and the equivalence point.
3) Factors that affect the titration curve include the strength of the acid and its concentration - weaker acids and more dilute solutions result in shallower curves without a clear endpoint.

This is useful to the chemical analysis persons. Tittration is one of the basic and standard method for quantitative chemical analysis. This describs the principles of titration, function of indicators, calculation of errors etc.
Titration is the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration (called a titrant) to a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration until the reaction reaches neutralization, which is often indicated by a color change.

Online submission
Produce an Excel spreadsheet based on simulation to illustrate the variation of the pH of the solution that occurs when strong acid is added to a weak base (or strong alkali and weak acid). The spreadsheet should demonstrate the change in the pH of the mixture as the titrant is added for a range of concentration of both components. Particular attention should be paid to the behaviour close to the end point (or equivalence point). Graphs should be generated on a range of scales showing in detail the likely behaviour around the end point.
The exact calculations for all situations can be quite involved so it may be useful to divide the titration into various segments in which various equations and approximations are valid and then stitch these together.
Write a report explaining the design of your spreadsheet and describe the graphs, which you should import.
Write a short description of the theory of buffer solutions and give examples of their applications.
The report should be a word document and an Excel spreadsheet. Describe the background theory and the methodology behind the construction of the simulation, and include the realisation of the system equations in Excel formulae. Graphs of pH against added solution over various ranges and around particular key points – such as the equivalence point or “end point”.
[60 marks]
The report should also include a discussion of the concept of buffer solutions and give examples of their use either in industrial processes or naturally occurring phenomena. Any sources should be appropriately referenced (Harvard).

It is possible to set up a simulated titration between a weak acid and a strong base.
It is easier to work backwards from pH to the added volume of titrant using the equations below as [H+] = 10(-pH)
It is possible to generate the curve with just one formula going backwards.
However we know by working forwards from added volume to pH that there are certain key points of interest, namely where φ = 0, 0.5, 1 and >1.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acid base titrations
1. Chapter 10 Acid-Base titrations
Problems 1, 2, 5, 7, 13, 16, 18, 21, 25
Up to now we have focused on calculations of pH or concentration at a few distinct
points. In this chapter we will talk about titration curves, or determining the pH after
any arbitrary addition of base to acids or vice versa.. The ability to do this will help to
further our knowledge of acid-base reactions
10-1 Titrations of strong acids and strong base
In the reaction of strong acids with strong bases we have something like:
Molecular
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) 6 NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Complete ionic
H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) 6H2O(l) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Net Ionic
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) 6H2O(l)
The NaCl is just along for the ride, so what is the real reaction?
H+ + OH- 6 H2O
What is the K of this reaction?? (1/Kw = 1x10+14 a very strong reaction)
There are only four equations you need to know to describe this titration curve: The
initial point, 1 before the equivalence point, one for the equivalent point itself and one
for after the equivalence point.
1. Notice that the book concentrates on the problem of a Base being titrated with an
acid. You should be able to turn these equations around and to the same analysis for
an acid being titrated with a base.
2. While I will follow the approach used in the book, I will plug in slightly different
numbers just to show you how thing would change for a slightly different problem.
Let’s say we are titrating 49 mL. of .021 M NaOH with 0.097 M HCL
2. 2
Step 1 determine the equivalence point
Since we use different equations before, during, and after the equivalence point, your
first job is to find the equivalence point.
What is the definition of the equivalence point? (Where you have an equivalent
amount of the reactant and titrant.)
Reactant is NaOH, and we have
Moles=Molarity x volume
49(.021) or 1.029 mMoles of OH- initially
To be at the equivalence point we need an equivalent number of H+
So if
1.029mM=0.097 X
X=10.61 mL.
Inital pH
.021M NaOH
= .021 M Na+ and .021M OH-
pOH = -log(.021)
= 1.68
pH=14-1.68
=12.32
Region 1 Before the equivalence point.
Pick a point, any point, say 1 mL
In this region the pH is determined by the excess of OH- that has not reacted
with HCl
Total OH- = .049L × .021 M = 1.029 mMoles
Total H+ delivered = .001×.097M = .097 mMoles
RXN table
H+ + OH-6 H2O
Inital 0 1.029
Added .097 0
RXN -.097 -.097 +.097
Final 0 .932 .097
3. 3
And [OH-] = .932/Total volume
= .932mMole/ 49+1 mL
= .01864 M
pOH =-log(.01864) =1.73
pH = 14-pOH = 12.27
Region 2 the equivalence point
This is easy. IF all we have is water and a little salt, what it the pH? 7
NOTE this is only true for strong acid-strong base reactions. It will not be true for
anything involving weak acids or bases
Region 3 After the equivalent point
Here the pH is determined by the excess H+. Again a long and a short way.
Pick a point, any point, say 20 mL total volume of acid
Initial base = .049 l×.021M = 1.029 mMole
Total acid = .020 l ×.097M = 1.94 mMole
RXN table
H+ + OH-6 H2O
Inital 0 1.029
Added 1.94 0
RXN -1.029 -1.029 +1.029
Final .911 0 +1.029
And [OH-] = .911/Total volume
= .911mMole/ 49+20 mL
= .0132M
pH = -log(.0132) = 1.88
4. 4
10-2 Titration of a weak acid with a strong base
For this let’s use an example from the lab, KHP, Potassium acid phthalate
Our example will be a KHP, as the weak acid its structure is:
Pure Phthallic acid has 2 Ka’s. 1.12x10-3 and 3.90x10-6. Since we
are working with KHP, the first acid has already been neutralized
with KOH, so only the second K is left. We will assume we have .8
g in 50 ml, and we are titrating it with 0.1 M NaOH. Since KHP has
a MW of 204.23 this means our acid is
.8×1/204.23×1/.05 = .0783M solution
First what is the reaction that goes on when we dissolve KHP ? It goes to HP-
Now what happens when we titrate this with base?
HP- +OH- 6 P-2 +H2O
What is the K for this? Well it looks sort of like the acid reaction
HP- + H2O6P2- + H+
But it has an OH- instead of H+ and it has the water on the wrong side
What if we combine the above reaction with the reverse of the water dissociation:
H+ + OH- W H2O
We get the correct equation. This that in mine, what is the K of the reaction? K
= Ka ×1/Kw
=3.90x10-6 ×1/1x10-14 = 3.9x108
A very favorable reaction. I think you can safely say this is also a strong reaction.
5. 5
IN this titration there are 4 regions to worry about
1. Initial pH before you have added NaOH
2. From the initial addition of NaOH up to the equivalence point
3. The equivalence point
4. After the equivalence point
With this buildup its actually quite easy, you have seen all these calculations before!
Where do we start? Locate the Equivalence point
Moles of Acid = .8 g/204.23 = 3.917 mMoles
Volume of base = to 3.917 mMoles
3.917=.1(X)
X=39.17 ml
1. Initial pH
This is just the pH of a dilute weak acid
[H+] = X; X2/(F-X) = Ka
In this example
X2/(.0783-X)=3.90x10-6
We will assume that X is small compared to .0783 so we get
X2 /.0783 = 3.90x10-6; X=5.526x10-4,
the assumption looks good; pH=3.25
If we do it the long way
X2/(.0783-X)=3.90x10-6; using the solver to get an exact solution
X=5.506x10-4 (original answer off by .02 or .3%)
pH= 3.26
2. After addition of NaOH, but before equivalence point.
Now you should recognize that in the region we have HA and A- in solution , what does
this mean?? BUFFER REGION - USE HH
All we need to do is figure out HA and A-
So let’s try for say 20 mL. of base added
6. 6
For each mole of OH we add we change 1 mole of HA to A-
So if we add 2 mM of OH- how much A- have we made? 2mM
For each mM of A- we make we remove a mole of HA, so how much HA is there?
3.917-2=1.917mM
Now all we have to do is to plug in to HH
pH=pKa + log (A-/HA)
Notice something sneaky here if we are going to use the ratio of A-/HA, we don’t need
to convert to molarity because all that would do is divide both the numerator and the
denominator by the same volume.
Thus
pH=5.41 + log (2/1.917); pH= 5.43
3. At the equivalence point
This should be another easy one. You were already shown how to determine
the pH of A- earlier
it goes by the form of
X=[OH-]
X2/(F-X) = Kb=Kw/Ka
The only trick part is that F is no longer .0783 M!
Why not?? Because we have added titrant and diluted it !
What is F now??
F=ForgX (Initial volume of HA/ Total volume at EQ point)
Here we have
F=0.07834 x (50/(50+39.17) = .05663M
Kb= Kw/Ka = 2.564x10-9;
2.564x10-9=X2/(.05663-X)
This K is pretty small, so let’s assume that .05663-X..05663
2.564x10-9(.05663) =X2
X=1.20x10-5;pOH=4.920, pH=9.080
(You get the same answer if you use the quadratic and solve exactly)
Region 4 After the equivalence point
This is just like after the equivalence point for a strong acid and weak base
7. 7
Let’s just do the quick and dirty
Say we are at 45 mL., 45-39.17 or 5.83 mL. past the equivalence point
[OH-]=.1(5.83/50+45)
=6.14x10-3 ; pOH=2.21, pH=11.79
Now that you have done a titration curve, what do you think would happen to
that titration curve is you had a weaker acid? (pK goes up, middle of curve rises)
Note that as the acid gets weaker and weaker, the center rises until the point where
you don’t have a clear endpoint (figure 10-10)
Another problem is what happens with concentration (also this figure) as the acid gets
more dilute, the curve gets shallower and shallower
10-3 Titration of weak base with strong Acid
Essentially the same of weak acid with strong base but just reverse acids and
bases. Go over yourself. May be tested on it.
10-4 Finding the End Point
Remember what we actually want to find is the equivalence point, but using
physical methods what we actually find is the End Point, where we end the titration.
Indicators
Most of this material was covered in the last chapter. Just as a reminder. You
want the pKa to match the pH of the equivalence point. And you want to add a
minimum amount of indicator. If either of these are off you may have indicator error,
and you may have to run a blank sample to eliminate this error
Using a pH electrode
While we have just calculated a titration curve, this is something that is usually
done experimentally in the lab. IF you are luck and have several thousands of dollars
you can by a machine that measures the amount of titrant added and the pH of the
solution automatically and makes pretty plots for you. If not, or you are in the lab, you
have to manually add some titrant, and read the pH off a pH meter.
When you do this you should get a nice curve like we have shown in our
theoretical plots. The first question is how do you locate the endpoint in these plots.
Notice most of the time there is a sharp rise in pH at the beginning. This is not
an equivalence point, it is just the buffer getting established
Next we have the sharp rise in pH at the end point. Which point in here is the
8. 8
true endpoint?? The one that has the largest slope. How do you find that?? Does the
term derivative sound familiar?
Derivative is the slope of the line
So if you have two point ,40.1 ml pH=8.71
And 40.2, pH 8.8, what is the derivative or slope?
)y/)x = (8.8-8.71)/(40.2-40.1)
Since this slope is between two point, you would plot it at the average of the two
points or at 40.15
When you plot the derivative you should get a plot like this
The peak here is the point with the largest slope, ie your end point.
If you want to get even more exact, what does the second derivative do?
(Will cross from + to - at the equivalence point)
This is an even better way to find the eq pt.
See Figure 10-4
Now if you’ve got a machine, this works out nicely, you can even get the
machine to calculate the derivative for you
But what about real manual data. Here you usually have errors, you read the pH
wrong, you read the volume wrong etc. This makes small errors in your pH vs. Vol plot,
but nothing too bad. What happens when you get to your derivative plot? The errors
get magnified and it looks worse than it does in the book.
If you get really lousy data (your amino acid in the lab) when you have a very
weak endpoint on top of noisy data these plots can be worthless, so we need another
approach
The Gran plot
This book does not cover another tool called the Gran plot, but let’s look at it
anyway because it can be useful. The Gran plot uses some more involved equations,
but I won’t try to derive them for you, let’s just cut to the chase and show you how it
works.
One problem with all the above analysis is that it is often pretty hard to nail down
a good E.P, especially is you are dealing with either a very dilute sample or a very
weak acid or base. Typically you have lots of good data out in the buffer region with
only 1 or two scattered points near the E.P. The Gran plot is alternate way of plotting
the that uses information from the buffer region to find the E.P in a more robust manner.
Plot {Volume of base × [H+]} on the Y axis and {Volume of base} on the X axis.
The Y axis
Volume of base x [H+] = volume of base × 10-pH
Volume of base X 10-pH vs volume of base you transform the data into a new form. In
9. 9
this plot the X intercept of the plot is your equivalence point and the slope of the plot
=Ka((HA/ (A-)
To get a good linear plot, you should use only the data within the last 10-20% fo
the titration, so if you have a titration where you think the endpoint is about 30 mls, you
should make this plot for 24-32 mls (20% of 30 is 6, 30-6=24, plus a few mls after the
suspected end point)
I think you will see in the lab how useful this plot can be.
10-5 Practical notes on titrations
1. A long time ago we mentioned Primary Standard. Primary standard for
acid/base reaction are listed on table 12-5 Note that KOH and NaOH are not primary
standards, thus we have to calibrate them in the lab
2. Strong base solution tend to pick up carbonate. In the lab this is avoided by
using a 50% NaOH stock solution where the carbonate is precipitated out (If you use
this solution, and you see your aliquot is cloudy throw it out and start over)
3. Even your standardized NaOH solution will pick up carbonate. Keep tightly
closed, don’t use if over a week old
4. Strong bases attack glass. Don’t store base in class bottles, don’t leave in
buret for long times.
10-6 Kjeldahl Nitrogen analysis
Will Skip
10-7 Spreadsheets
While I like the idea of making a spreadsheet to calculate an entire titration
curve, the way he does it is to use some equations that he doesn’t get to until Chapter
12, so I think we will skip this as well.
