Chapter 11, Problem 11.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When $0.100M$ hydroxyacetic acid is titrated with $0.0500M$ $KOH$ the $pH$ at equivalence point has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acid-base titration is titration between acid and base. It is also known as neutralization reaction.

There are primarily four types of acid-base titrations –

• Strong base vs strong acid
• Strong base vs weak acid
• Weak base vs strong acid
• Weak base vs weak acid

Equivalence point ensures the titration reaction becomes completed and at this point the number of moles of titrant and the number of moles of analyte becomes equal.
