Part B.4. As a result of adding the NaOH titrant too rapidly and an unwillingness to allow the pH meter to equilibrate before reading its pH, the stoichiometric point is ill defined. As a result of this technique error,

a. will the molar mass of the weak acid be reported as too high or too low? Explain.
b. will the pK_a of the weak acid be reported as too high or too low? Explain.

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
