In a titration, what is the equivalence point?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. The point where acid and base are in exact stoichiometric amounts
- Step 1: At the equivalence point the moles of acid equal the moles of base according to the reaction equation.
- Step 2: Its pH is 7 only for a strong acid with a strong base.
Answer
The point where acid and base are in exact stoichiometric amounts.
Why not the others: Adding the indicator and emptying the burette are not the equivalence point.
