Question

Which of the following statements correctly completes the sentence "When a weak base is titrated with a strong acid to the equivalence point" A. The resulting solution is acidic because of the presence of the weak conjugate acid. B. The resulting solution is neutral because the acid neutralizes the base. C. The resulting solution is basic because of the presence of the weak base. D. The resulting solution is acidic because a strong acid was used to titrate the weak base

Answer 1

The resulting solution is acidic because a strong acid was used to titrate the weak base

Step-by-step explanation:

A strong acid has weak conjugate base so the salt that is formed by the neutralization of strong acid by weak base , gets hydrolyzed and resulting solution becomes acidic. So , it is due to hydrolysis of strong conjugate acid. .
