Question

During titration of acetic acid with aq. NaOH solution, the neutralisation graph has a vertical line. This line indicates (A) alkaline nature of equivalence (B) acidic nature of equivalence (C) neutral nature of equivalence (D) depends on experimental proceeding

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In any type of acid base titration, there is a sudden change in the pH value at the end point. During the titration of a weak acid with a strong base, beyond the equivalent point, the solution will contain the salt and excess of free base.

C H_{3} COO H + N a O H \to Sodium acetate C H_{3} COON a + H_{2} O

Due to the presence of free base, solution becomes alkaline in nature.
