Henderson Hasselbalch: Titrations

Suppose you performed a potentiometric titration on the solutions in flasks A, B, and C by a gradual addition of HCℓ (aq) to each flask shown.


Choose one option per statement to describe the differences between these titration curves.

When the solution in flask B is titrated…

(B1) … the initial pH will be lower / higher / the same as the initial pH in flask A.
(B2) …the equivalence point will be reached after adding a smaller / larger / equal volume of HCℓ(aq) as was needed to reach equivalence in titration A.
(B3) …the equivalence point will occur at lower / higher / the same pH vs. titration A.
(B4) …the half-equivalence point will be reached after adding a smaller / larger / equal
volume of HCℓ(aq) as was needed to reach half-equivalence in titration A.
(B5) …the half-equivalence point will occur at lower / higher / the same pH vs. titration A.

When the solution in flask C is titrated…

(C1) … the initial pH will be lower / higher / the same as the initial pH in flask A.
(C2) …the equivalence point will be reached after adding a smaller / larger / equal volume of HCℓ(aq) as was needed to reach equivalence in titration A.
