A 0.10 M weak acid HA with is titrated with 0.10 M NaOH. Which statements are correct? (.)

  1. AThe pH at half-equivalence is 5.0
  2. BThe pH at the equivalence point is greater than 7
  3. CMethyl orange (range 3.1-4.4) is a suitable indicator
  4. DThe pH when 90% of the acid is neutralised is about 5.95

Answer: A, B, D

At 50% neutralisation pH . At equivalence the salt NaA hydrolyses, so pH . Methyl orange changes colour far below the equivalence pH and is unsuitable. At 90%: pH . Answer A, B, D.
