When a formic acid solution is titrated with lithium hydroxide will the solution be acidic neutral or basic at the equivalence point?

basic


A titration of an acid and base to the equivalence point results in a noticeably acidic solution It is likely this titration involves?

a strong acid and a weak base.


How does the equivalence point of a titration differ from its end point?

The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of base equal the number of moles of acid. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'. If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be exactly as near as possible at the equivalence point. The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it. This is because the pH of the solution changes very rapidly close to the equivalence point. Therefore, the indicator will change color very close to the equivalence point because of the steepness of the pH change.


In a titration when does the indicator change color?

when the equivalence point of a titration is achieved.. Added: (More precisely:) The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of base equal the number of moles of acid. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'.

What is titration error?

Titration error is simply the difference between the end point of a titration and the equivalence point of it. It can mathematically defined as Error = Vol(End Point) - Vol(Equivalence Point)

Standardising HCl using Na2CO3 titration. textbook says the solution at the equivalence point is slightly acidic. is it and why?

it depends on the strength of the acid and base used: so, strong acid + strong base = neutral equivalence point strong acid + weak base = acidic equivalence point weak acid + strong base = basic equivalence point In this case, HCl is a strong acid, and Na2CO3 a weak base. Therefore, the equivalence point will be slightly acidic.

What is the difference between the end point and the equivalence point?

The equivalence point is the point in a titration when the amount of added standard reagent is chemically equal to the amount of analyte. The end point is the point in a titration when a physical change occurring immediate after the equivalence point

The equivalence point reached when the pH reaches it maximum value?

No. The equivalence point is reached when the moles of titrant equals the moles of analyte.

Consider the titration of 30.0 ml of 0.030 M NH3 with 0.025 M HCl the equivalence point is reached when 36 ml of HCl titrant is added what is the pH at the equivalence point?

pH = 5.56 at 36.0 ml(equivalence point)


Detect equivalence point in titration without an indicator?

Titration without indicator is only possible with another measurement:Examples / possibilities:pH-electrode measurement (acid-base titration)Conductivity measurement (acid-base titration or ion-reaction)Change of color by excess or depletion of the reactant/titrant (redox titration)Precipitation by excess or depletion of the reactant/titrantAdded:(The following was more or less written for 'indicator' titrations, but same principles count for other 'sharply' changing properties):The equivalence point is the point where the number of moles of titrant equal the number of moles of the reactant. The end point is the point where the indicator being used changes color (also 'indication point)'.If the indicator is chosen correctly, the end point will essentially be as near as possible at the equivalence point.The point of the titration is to find the equivalence point -- the end point is just a very close approximation to it.

If the equivalence point of a titration is 5 what range of pH should the indicator be?

The indicator should change color right at the equivalence point, so 5.


How can the equivalence point in a titration be detected by using a pH meter?

In strong acid base titrations when pH meter shows the value 7 then it is equivalence point.
