Determination of Ka and Identification of an Unknown Weak Acid Post-lab Question 1. Suppose that a student performing this experiment mistakenly calibrated the pH meter using pH 8 buffer instead of pH 7 buffer. As a result of this error, all of the student's pH readings were too low. a) Would this error have affected the calculated molar mass of the unknown acid? Briefly explain. b) Would this error have affected the experimentally determined pKa of the unknown acid? Briefly...
4. As a result of adding the NaOH titrant too rapidly and an unwillingness to allow the pH meter to equilibrate before reading its pH, the stoichiometric point is ill defined. As a result of this technique error a. Will the K, of the weak acid be reported as too high or too low? Explain! b. Will the pka of the weak acid be reported as too high or too low? Explain!
Explain how each of the following errors would have altered your results. Clearly explain why your calculated answer would be high, low, or unchanged. (A single word answer is not acceptable.)The pH buffers used to calibrate the pH meter were each 0.5 pH units high (4.5 and 7.5 rather than 4.0 and 7.0 respectively).

5. The Ka and Molar Mass of a Monoprotic Weak Acid a. Suppose that–unknown to you–the primary standard KHP (potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC8H4O4) had a potassium iodide impurity of approximately one percent by mass. How would this have influenced the calculated molarity of your sodium hydroxide solution? Would your calculated value be too low, too high, or unchanged? Explain your answer. b. Sketch a typical titration curve for a monoprotic weak acid titrated with a strong base. Label the axes...
