Determination of the First Dissociation Constant of Weak Acids SCHA-266 Experiment 1 Apparatus: pH meter with electrode sodium hydroxide solution, about 0.1 M (standardized) unknown solution of a weak acid (100mL of approx. solution) 25-mL pipet buret, buret clamp, and ring stand 150-mL beaker 250-mL beakers (3) standard buffer solutions, pH 4, 7 and 10 General Theory According to the Br?nsted-Lowry acid-base theory, the strength of an acid is related to its ability to donate protons. All acid-base reactions are then competitions between bases of various strengths for
