Which of the following titrations result in a basic solution at the equivalence point? A)HCl titrated with LiCH₃CO₂ B)HOCl titrated with KOH C)HI titrated with LiOH D)Pb(NO₃)₂ titrated with NaI

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HOCl is a weak acid and when it is titrated with a strong base like KOH, the pH of the solution increases from acidic to basic as the equivalence point is reached. Therefore, B is the correct choice as it results in a basic solution at the equivalence point. The other choices either involve a strong acid or a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and weak base, which do not result in a basic solution at the equivalence point.
