Match the following descriptions of titration curves with the diagrams: (d) strong base added to polyprotic acid. [Section 17.3]

Video transcript

Hey, everyone were told that one of the following graphs represent the titillation of a try protic acid with a strong base, which titillation curve is it. Now the key word here is going to be try protic acid. This essentially tells us that we will need three equivalence points in our graph. Now, before the addition of a base, we will only have our acid present. So our initial ph is going to be low. And since we're tight traded with a strong base, we have to end in a high ph. So those are also some notes we can use in order to determine our answer. Starting with A. We can see that we have one equivalence point, so A can't be our answer for B. We have one as well, and for C we have 12 and three. So C looks like it might be our answer. But let's go ahead and look at D For D. We only have two. So see here is going to be our final answer. And we can also see that we end in a high ph and our initial ph is low. Now, I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
