Strong acid/Weak base Titration Curve
« on: August 02, 2007, 12:43:25 PM »
I am trying to determine a titration curve of a strong acid/weak base. My acid(titrant) will be either 0.1M or 0.5M HCl against 50% Hydroxylamine(NH2OH), and I want to find out how much titrant I will need. Can anyone help me with the calculations?? PLEASE *delete me*!!!

Very simple stoichiometry. Start with the reaction equation and remember that n=CV.

Can you give me a tip on how to get started please? What does n=CV mean? Is n normality? I really need *delete me*!!

n is number of moles.

and CV stands for what? What is the balanced equation for this? NH2OH+HCl-->??

1. Write a balanced equation of the reaction.
2. You need to have a known volume of the base.
3. Also record the concentration of the base.
4. Find the number of moles of the base using: number of moles (mol) = concentration (mol dm-3) x volume (dm3)
5. Use the answer to 4 and the equation of the reaction to calculate the number of moles of HCl needed.
6. Use n = cV to find the volume of HCl needed.
