Do you feel inclined to think that titration of acid and base at equivalence point will always yield a neutral solution? Well the answer is no. Learn from the following excersie.

Weak Acid - Strong Base Titration. a 50.0-mL portion of 0.200 M HCOOH has been titrated with 0.200 M KOH to the equivalence point. What is the pH at the equivalence point?

Solution Summary

The titration weak acid and strong bases are determined.

Solution Preview

See attached

At the equivalence point, the moles of HCOOH equal the moles of KOH and create the same moles of COOH-
So moles of KOH required to reach equivalence = 0.05*0.2 = 0.01 (mole)
As ...
