The pH at the midpoint in the titration of an acid with a base is A) equal to the pK of the corresponding base. B) equal to the pK of the corresponding acid. C) equal to 14 minus the pK of the corresponding acid. D) equal to 14 plus the pK of the corresponding base. E) none of the above

The pH at the midpoint in the titration of an acid with a base is

A) equal to the pK of the corresponding base.

B) equal to the pK of the corresponding acid.

C) equal to 14 minus the pK of the corresponding acid.

D) equal to 14 plus the pK of the corresponding base.

E) none of the above

Explanation:

When a weak acid is titrated with a strong base, then a buffer solution is formed.

pH of a buffer solution can be calculated by using the formula:

Exactly at the mid point,

[conjugate base of the salt]=[acid]

So, log [salt]/[acid] =0

Hence, pH of the solution will be equal to pKa of the weak acid.

Answer is option B.

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
