For oxalic acid (HOOCCOOH) and citric acid (C3H4OH(COOH)3), plot a fraction of species vs pH curve, and create a pH vs volume curve, assuming that the titrant is a 1.00M NaOH solution. What indicators should be used for each endpoint?

The pKa values, as well as additional information, can be found here.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Using the resources provided, plot your graphs using PowerPoint or Excel and submit the file into your SLP drop box. For any additional research you are required to do to complete your assignment, please use scholarly references such as a peer reviewed journal article or a government sponsored or university sponsored website. As you read through your sources, take notes from your sources and then write your paper in your own words, describing what you have learned from your research. Direct quotes should be limited and must be designated by quotation marks. Paraphrased ideas must give credit to the original author, for example (Murray, 2014).
