Assuming you know how to find the equivalence point on the titration curve, and assuming it is not [strong acid/strong base] or [weak acid/weak base], all you need to do is find the half equivalence point, which gives you the pKa of the first solution.

Then to get the Ka, you go 10-pKa .

Why weak acids are not used for titrations?

This is so because titration of a weak acid with a weak base do not give a sharp change inconductivity curve. Hence it is not possible to determine the end point from the curve.

How is the KB of ammonia calculated from the half titration point?

At half titration pH=pKa (you need the pH from the graph of your titration, y axis) ph = pKa + log (base/acid) 10^-pKa = Ka Kw=Ka*Kb Kb=Kw/Ka Ka = Kw/Kb


How do you determine the pka of oxalic acid?

The pka of oxalic acid can be determined with the help of titration curve. The slight inflection that occurs corresponds to the first end point.

What is the Shape of titration curve for complexometric titration?

If we plot the pM (M= concentration of metal ion in the analyte) against the volume of titrant the titration curve takes the sigmoidal shape, plateau in the first part, sharp rise around the equivalence point and then again flat.


Where is the buffer region in a titration curve for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base?

It is the nearly horizontal region before the equivalence point.
