if Ka1 >> Ka2, there will be two equivalence points in the titration

the closer the Ka’s are to each other, the less distinguishable the equivalence points are

Monitoring pH During a TitrationMonitoring pH During a Titration

the general method for monitoring the pH during the course of a titration is to measure the conductivity of the solution due to the [H3O+]

using a probe that specifically measures just H3O+

the endpoint of the titration is reached at the equivalence point in the titration – at the inflection point of the titration curve

if you just need to know the amount of titrant added to reach the endpoint, we often monitor the titration with an indicator

Monitoring a Titration with an Indicator

Monitoring a Titration with an Indicator

for most titrations, the titration curve shows a very large change in pH for very small additions of base near the equivalence point

an indicator can therefore be used to determine the endpoint of the titration if it changes color within the same range as the rapid change in pH pKa of HInd ≈ pH at equivalence point

all ionic compounds dissolve in water to some degree

however, many compounds have such low solubility in water that we classify them as insoluble

we can apply the concepts of equilibrium to salts dissolving, and use the equilibrium constant for the process to measure relative solubilities in water

Solubility ProductSolubility Product

the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of a solid salt into its aqueous ions is called the solubility product, Ksp

for an ionic solid MnXm, the dissociation reaction is:MnXm(s) nMm+(aq) + mXn−(aq)

the solubility product would be Ksp = [Mm+]n[Xn−]m

for example, the dissociation reaction for PbCl2 isPbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq)

and its equilibrium constant is Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl−]2

Ksp and Relative SolubilityKsp and Relative Solubility

molar solubility is related to Ksp

but you cannot always compare solubilities of compounds by comparing their Ksps

in order to compare Ksps, the compounds must have the same dissociation stoichiometry

PrecipitationPrecipitation

precipitation will occur when the concentrations of the ions exceed the solubility of the ionic compound

if we compare the reaction quotient, Q, for the current solution concentrations to the value of Ksp, we can determine if precipitation will occur Q = Ksp, the solution is saturated, no precipitation

Q < Ksp, the solution is unsaturated, no precipitation

Q > Ksp, the solution would be above saturation, the salt above saturation will precipitate

some solutions with Q > Ksp will not precipitate unless disturbed – these are called supersaturated solutions
