Question 64

Multiple Choice

Which is the best colored indicator to use in the titration of 0.1 M CH3CO2H(aq) with NaOH(aq) ? Why? (Ka of CH3CO2H = 1.8 ×\times 10-5,Kb of CH3CO2- = 5.6 ×\times 10-10)
 Which is the best colored indicator to use in the titration of 0.1 M CH<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H(aq) with NaOH(aq) ? Why? (K<sub>a</sub> of CH<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H = 1.8  \times  10<sup>-5</sup>,K<sub>b</sub> of CH<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> = 5.6  \times  10<sup>-10</sup>)     A)  Bromcresol Green.The equivalence point for a weak acid titration occurs at low pH. B)  Bromthymol Blue.The pH at the equivalence point is 7.0. C)  Bromcresol Green.The pK<sub>a</sub> of CH<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H and the pK<sub>a</sub> of the indicator are similar. D)  Phenolphthalein.The pK<sub>a</sub> of CH<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> and the pK<sub>b</sub> of the indicator are similar. E)  Phenolphthalein.The pH at the equivalence point is near the pK<sub>a</sub> of the indicator.
