33. Stoichiometry calculations:
1) Write the balanced chemical reaction
2) Convert all measurements to moles (if you can)
3) Work with molar ratios to find out how much an acid is needed to
neutralize a given amount of base, or vice versa.

H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) 2H2O(l) + K2SO4(aq)
Step 1: Write the balanced chemical reaction
Step 2: Convert everything to moles
nKOH = C x V
= (0.650mol/L) x (0.0372L)
= 0.02418mol KOH

38. Equivalence point: The point (pH) in
the titration when an equal number of
moles of acid and base have been
added
End point: The point (pH) at which the
indicator changes colour indicating an
end to the titration
For a successful titration, choose an
indicator that changes colour at a pH
value close to the pH at the
equivalence point.
