A 40.00-mL aliquot of 0.05000 M HNO2 is diluted to 75.00 mL and titrated with 0.0800 M Ce4+. The pH of the solution is maintained at 1.00 throughout the titration; the formal potential of the cerium system is 1.44 V.

(a) Calculate the potential of the indicator electrode with respect to a saturated calomel reference electrode after the addition of 5.00, 10.00, 15.00, 25.00, 40.00, 49.00, 49.50, 49.60, 49.70, 49.80, 49.90, 49.95, 49.99, 50.00, 50.01, 50.05, 50.10, 50.20, 50.30, 50.40, 50.50, 51.00, 60.00, 75.00, and 90.00 mL of cerium(IV).

(b) Draw a titration curve for these data.

(c) Generate a first and second derivative curve for these data. Does the volume at which the

second derivative curve crosses zero correspond to the theoretical equivalence point? Why or why not?
