Question

Which of the following reactions do you expect with have an equivalence point pH that is acidic?
a) NH3 (aq) + HNO3 (aq) NH4+ (aq) + NO3-(aq)
b) NH3 (aq) + HBr (aq) NH4Br (aq)
c) CH3COOH (aq) + KOH (aq) CH3COOK (aq) + HOH (l) 
d) 6 HOH (l)+ 6 CO2 (g) C6H12O6 (aq) + 6 O2 (g)

Expert Solution
Step 1

NH3 is a weak base 

HNO3 is a strong acid

Step 2

In titration of strong acid-weak base , the PH at the equivalence point is not 7 but below it . 

This is due to the formation of a conjugate  acid during the titration , it will react with water to form Hydronium ( H3O+ ) ion.

So, PH less than 7  the Solution is acidic.
