Gran Plot - Titrating Strong Base With Strong Acid | Titrating Strong Base Strong Acid

Titrating Strong Base With Strong Acid

Mirror-image plots are obtained if titrating the base with the acid, and the signs of the slopes are reversed.

$\frac{v_0 _0-v_i_0}{v_0+v_i} \begin{cases} \approx _i \text{ or } K_w 10^{pH_i} & \text{ when } v_{0^{ }} _0 > v_i_0 \text{ (alkaline region)} \\ = 0 & \text{ when } v_{0^{ }} _0 = v_i_0 \text{ (equivalence point)} \\ \approx -_i \text{ or } -10^{-pH_i} & \text{ when } v_{0^{ }} _0 < v_i_0 \text{ (acidic region)} \end{cases}$

Hence,

a plot of will have a linear region before equivalence with slope
and a plot of will have a linear region after equivalence with slope
both plots will have as x-intercept

Figure 1 gives sample Gran plots of a strong base-strong acid titration.

Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or base:

“It is very difficult for people to believe the simple fact that every persecutor was once a victim. Yet it should be very obvious that someone who was allowed to feel free and strong from childhood does not have the need to humiliate another person.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)

“The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
