Chapter 16, Problem 38E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The approximate $\text{pH}$ at the equivalence point of the each given curve is to be predicted. The curves corresponding to the titration of the strong base with strong acid and the titration of the weak base with strong acid are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The titration between a strong base and a strong acid results in a $\text{pH}$ of $7$ at equivalence point because at the equivalence point equal concentrations of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions combines to form water that is neutral in nature.

To determine: The approximate $\text{pH}$ at the equivalence point of the each given curve and the curve corresponding to the titration of the strong base with strong acid and the titration of the weak base with strong acid.
