The sodium ions react with water to give an alkali. The ethanoate ions react with water to give hydroxide ions. ll sodium salts give alkaline solutions. The sodium ethanoate is fully ionized in solution. 29 solution of a weak acid cannot be titrated with a weak base using an indicator to find the end-point because the ph change is too gradual close to the equivalence point. there are too few H ions to affect the indicator. there are too few OH ions to affect the indicator. the ph change occurs outside the range of any indicator.

30 t 100, pure water has a ph of 6, whereas at 25 it has a ph of 7. This is because the dissociation of water is endothermic, so the concentration of hydrogen ions is lower at 100 than it is at 25. the dissociation of water is exothermic, so the concentration of hydrogen ions is lower at 100 than it is at 25. the dissociation of water is endothermic, so the concentration of hydrogen ions is higher at 100 than it is at 25. at 100, water has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than of hydroxide ions.
