Explain why titrating a weak acid with a strong base produces a basic solution at the equivalence point

Please help me I have no idea what the answer is to this question ,and I've been searching in my book and on the internet for about 25 minutes!

Respuesta :

A weak acid ionizes or dissociates less producing fewer positive (H+) ions than a STRONG base does because it is supposed to disassociate more fully. So when the acid and base neutralize, not all of the OH- ions are neutralized because fewer H+ were produced than OH-.

A solution of a weak acid reacts with a solution of a strong base to form the conjugate base of the weak acid and the conjugate acid of the strong base.

What is titration?

A method or process of determining the concentration of a dissolved substance in terms of the smallest amount of reagent of known concentration required to bring about a given effect in reaction with a known volume of the test solution.

The equivalence point for a weak acid-strong base titration has a pH > 7.00.

For a strong acid-weak base or weak acid-strong base titration, the pH will change rapidly at the very beginning and then have a gradual slope until near the equivalence point.
