This tutorial will allow you to explore the effect of changing reaction
conditions on the acid-base equilibrium reactions of bromoacetic acid, a
simple organic acid. The initial solution consists of 0.1 moles of
bromoacetic
acid in 1 L of water adjusted to pH 7. Once you have completed your
exploration into the effect of changing a variable, select the link at the
bottom of future pages to go to the explanation about that variable's
effect on equlibria.
Suggestion: You may want to try making a rough graph of each
adjustable
parameter versus the concentration of either the acid form (A) or the
basic
form (B) of bromoacetic acid. (or against any other parameter which seems
to be changing in response to your choices!)
