What is the ph at the equivalence point when 0.10 m hno3 is used to titrate a volume of solution containing 0.30 g of koh?

Respuesta :

Answer;

pH = 7  

Explanation;

  • HNO3 is a strong acid. KOH is a strong base. At the equivalence point, the solution will be neutral.
  • Therefore; the pH at the equivalence point when 0.10 m HNO3 is used to titrate a volume of solution containing 0.30 g of KOH will be 7.
  • The neutralization of a strong base with a strong acid gives a salt solution at the equivalence point. The salt contains ions that do not change the pH of water.

Answer:

pH at equivalence point will be 7

Explanation:

  • [tex]HNO_{3}[/tex] is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base. Hence a neutral salt would appear from acid-base reaction between them.
  • Acid-base reaction: [tex]HNO_{3}+KOH\rightarrow KNO_{3}+H_{2}O[/tex]
  • At equivalence point, [tex]KNO_{3}[/tex] and water exists in medium.
  • As [tex]KNO_{3}[/tex] is a neutral salt therefore pH of medium will be equal to 7 (neutral).
  • So, pH at equivalence point will be 7.
