Answer: Sketch titration curves for the following
Chapter 16, Problem 26P(choose chapter or problem)
Sketch titration curves for the following acid-base titrations:
(a) HCl versus NaOH,
(b) HCl versus \(\mathrm{CH_3NH_2}\),
(c) \(\mathrm {CH_3COOH }\) versus NaOH.
In each case, the base is added to the acid in an Erlenmeyer flask. Your graphs should show pH on the y-axis and volume of base added on the x-axis.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
The acid-base titration is a method of determining the concentration of an unknown acid or a base by neutralizing the acid or base with an acid or base of known concentration. The acid-base titration involves three types of reactions as follows.
1. Titration of a strong acid with a strong base.
2. Titration of a weak acid with a strong base.
3. Titration of a strong acid with a weak base.
Step 2 of 4
(a)
Here, HCl is a strong acid, and NaOH is a strong base. Thus, the titration curve for strong acid and strong base is as follows.
