AIIMS2003ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
In which of the following acid-base titration, pH is greater than 8 at equivalence point?
Options
- AAcetic acid versus ammonia
- BAcetic acid versus sodium hydroxide
- CHydrochloric acid versus ammonia
- DHydrochloric acid versus sodium hydroxide.
Correct answer
B. Acetic acid versus sodium hydroxide
Step-by-step solution
Acetic acid is a weak acid while sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Therefore at the equivalent point, there will be enough hydroxide ions left.
