Interpret pH curves for all four combinations of strong and weak monoprotic acids and bases: initial pH, buffer region, half-equivalence point where pH = pKa, equivalence point pH above or below 7, and the size of the vertical jump.
In aqueous solution hydrogen cyanide behaves as a weak acid. (i) Write an equation for the ionization of hydrogen cyanide in water. (ii) Outline two ways in which a solution of 0.050 could be distinguished experimentally from…
