Chapter 16, Problem 16.52QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equivalence point of the given titrations being less than, equal to or greater than $\text{pH}=7$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The titration of strong acid and strong base has the equivalence point at $\text{pH}=7$.

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the equivalence point of titration of $\text{HCN}$ with $\text{Ca}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the equivalence point of titration of $\text{LiOH}$ with $\text{HI}$.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ of the equivalence point of titration of ${\text{C}}_5{\text{H}}_5\text{N}$ with $\text{KOH}$.
