Acid-base Labs (Ps 21)
Acid-Base titrations are usually used to find the amount of a known acidic or basic substance through acid base reactions. The titrate is the solution with an unknown molarity where as the molarity of the titrant is known. Test your understanding of titration by taking the simple quiz below. All the best!
- 1.
At what point in the titration is the pH of the solution equal to the pKa of the acid?
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
The pH of a solution is equal to the pKa of the acid at the halfway point of the titration, which is represented by answer choice B. At this point, half of the acid has been neutralized by the base, resulting in equal concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base. This creates a buffer solution and the pH is equal to the pKa of the acid.Rate this question:

At what point has the titration reached its equivalence point?
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
The titration has reached its equivalence point when the moles of the titrant added are stoichiometrically equivalent to the moles of the analyte present in the solution. This means that the reaction is complete and there is no excess of either the titrant or the analyte. Option D is the correct answer because it represents the point where the equivalence point is reached, indicating that the titration is complete.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B.Explanation
At the end point of the titration, the solution contains equal amounts of HF and KOH because the titration is a neutralization reaction between an acid (HF) and a base (KOH). The reaction between HF and KOH produces water (H2O) and a salt, potassium fluoride (KF). Since the reaction is stoichiometrically balanced, equal amounts of HF and KOH are required to reach the end point where all the acid has reacted with the base. Therefore, at the end point, the solution contains equal amounts of HF and KOH.Rate this question:
