Lab Report Instructions (Due Monday, May 16th):
Purpose: Discover the equivalence point and derive the equilibrium constants of a weak acid (Ka) and a weak base (Kb).
Materials - This is different from the handout given our available supplies; draw a picture of the apparatus.
Procedure - This is different from the handout given our available supplies.
Data - This is your raw data in data tables.
Analysis - This will include your graphs (volume of strong acid or base added v. pH); identify the equivalence point from the graph; calculate the Ka and Kb using the equivalence point.
Conclusion - Restate the purpose; summarize the analysis and draw conclusions (address the characteristics of weak acids and bases in comparison to the behaviors of strong acids and bases); possible sources of error; possible extensions for the experiment.
