Part 1. Amphoteric species Amphoteric species are able to act as both an acid and a base. For solutions 1-3, each compou
solutions 1-3, each compound breaks into ions, one of which can donate and accept a hydrogen ion. Soln #1 Soln #2 Soln #3 Before making any measurements, calibrate your pH meter using the standard solutions provided. Be sure to transfer the standard solution into a clean dry flask to carry out the calibration. 0.10 M NaHSO4 0.10 M NaHCO3 0.10 M Na₂HPO4 Procedure 1. Pour -20mL of solution into a small beaker. 2. Measure the pH of each solution. Analysis 1. Identify the major species present. 2. Based on the measured pH, identify the solution as a strong/weak acid/base. 3. Use equilibrium constants in the table below to identify/calculate the K₂ and Ko of each amphoteric species. 4. Based on the values, are the measured pH values consistent with the theoretical values of K, and K?
