A weak acid with an initial pH of 3.2 was titrated with a strong base. 15 mL of 0.1 M NaOH was added to the acid to reach the equivalence point at a pH of 8.6. What would you expect the approximate pH of the analyte to be after the first 5 mL of 0.1 M NaOH was added?

Question

7.2

3.4*

8.6

I think it's 3.4 because the solution would remain acidic, and then become basic quickly as it reaches the equivalence point on a titration graph- I am not 100% sure though. Please help!

Answer 1

I agree
