Your report form
for this experiment will include 3 attached Excel spreadsheets (each one on a
separate 8.5”x11” sheet of paper).
Each spreadsheet MUST INCLUDE (i) the titration data (ii) the titration
curve graph and (iii) a data box.
(3 points) For acetic acid:
(i) The titration curve data in two columns.
(ii) The graph of pH versus volume of titrant.
(iii) In the data box include the value of pKa
as determined from the pH halfway to the equivalence point and the molarity
of the acetic acid using 0.075 M NaOH for the titrant and the volume of
titrant used at the observed equivalence point.
An example is given below (note the values are examples only):

(3 points) For phosphoric acid:
(i) The titration curve data in two columns.
(ii) The
graph of pH versus volume of titrant.
(iii) In the data box include
the values of pKal and pKa2 as determined
from the pH halfway to the relevant equivalence points, and the molarity of
the phosphoric acid using 0.075 M NaOH for the titrant and the volume of
titrant used at the observed equivalence points. An example is given below (note the
values are examples only):

(3 points) For the
unknown acid:
(i) The titration curve data in two columns.
(ii) The graph of pH versus volume of titrant.
(iii) In the data box include the value of pKa
for the weak acid, the molarity of the weak acid and your guess of the identity
of the weak acid. Possible unknown
