Acid-Base Titrations

AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5

A weak monoprotic acid HA is titrated with NaOH; the curve is shown.

mL NaOH pH half-eq eq pt

What does pH at the half-equivalence point equal?

  • A

    pKa

    check_circle
  • B

    pH at the equivalence point

  • C

    7.00

  • D

    pKb

Explanation

At the half-equivalence point [HA] = [A-], so by Henderson-Hasselbalch pH = pKa + log(1) = pKa.
