In which of the following acid-base titration, the pH is greater than 8 at the equivalence point ?A. Acetic acid versus ammoniaB. Acetic acidversus sodium hydroxideC. Hydrohloric acid versus ammoniaD. Hydrochloric acid versus sodium hydroxide. |

Answer» `CH_(3)COOH+NH_(3)rarrCH_(3)COO^(-)N^(+)H_(4)` `CH_(3)COOH+NaOHrarr Na^(+)CH_(3)COO^(-)` `HCl+NH_(3)rarr NH_(4)Cl` `HCl+NaOH rarr NaCl` pH greater than 8 at the equivalence point implies that salt formed during the titration is undergoing anionic hydrolysis. Only the salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` undergoes anionic hydrolysis to give basic solution. |
