Answer:

Below 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equivalence point, or stoichiometric point, of a chemical reaction is the point at which chemically equivalent quantities of reactants have been mixed(Wikipedia).

For a strong acid-weak base titration, the pH at the equivalence point is usually below 7. This owes to the fact that a conjugate acid is produced in the course of the reaction which interacts with water to produce hydronium (H3O+) ions.
