Multiple Choice
Which statement is FALSE regarding the titration of a weak acid with a strong base? HA + OH− → A− + H2O
A) At the equivalence point,the pH is due to the hydrolysis of water by the conjugate base,A−.
B) Past the equivalence point the pH is due to excess conjugate base,A−.
C) Before strong base is added,the pH is due to the ionization of the weak acid,HA.
D) Before the equivalence point,the pH is due to a mixture of HA and A
