The pH equals the pKa when half of the volume of NaOH necessary to reach the equivalence point has been added. Based on the number of mL of NaOH necessary to reach the equivalence point, how many mL of NaOH have been dispensed at the point where the pH = pKa?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Half NaOH have been dispensed

Explanation:

Because of the incomplete dissociation of the acid, the reaction is in equilibrium, with an acid dissociation constant, Ka, which is specific to that acid. point are the same. Therefore, at the half-equivalence point, the pH is equal to the pKa.
