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:

“The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.”
—St. Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)

“The desire of most parents is first and foremost to do what is best for their children. Every interview with a mother or father confirms this, every letter written by a parent breathes this deep-seated wish, “I hope I am doing the right thing for my child.” This is real and honest, and at the very base of parenthood.”
—Irma Simonton Black (20th century)
