What is the pH at the equivalence point when a weak acid is titrated with a strong base?
A.Greater than 7
B.Exactly 7
C.Less than 7
D.Equal to pKa
Explanation
Core Concept
The product A⁻ is a weak base that hydrolyzes: A⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HA + OH⁻. The resulting hydroxide makes the equivalence point basic.
Correct Answer
AGreater than 7
