We have seen that adding the common ion (salt of the conjugate base) to a weak acid equilibrium changes the pH. Imagine a solution in which you have created a solution that is 2.0 M in acetic acid and 2.0 M in sodium acetate (the purple atom is the sodium cation). In this case the concentration of the weak acid and it's conjugate base are exactly equal. In truth, a small amount of acetate anion (conjugate base) is also coming from the dissociation of the weak acid, but this is negligible compared to the added sodium acetate. a. The Na+ cation does not appear in the equilibrium because it is a spectator ion and is only the counter ion for the acetate anion.
b. All of the acetic acid will become deprotonated by water so the final solution contains ony aqueous h aron un ions and acetate ons.
c. The pKa for the acid = the pH of this solution. Since acetic acid is a weak acid, acetate anion is considered to be a strong base.
d. The [H3O+]=Ka in this solution. The pH of this solution will be lower than that of a 2.0 M solution of acetic acid.

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml
