Answer: A) More base is likely required to reach the endpoint for the diprotic acid than for the monoprotic acid under these conditions
Explanation:
The monoprotic acid (HA) has a valency of 1 and diprotic acid has a valency of 2.
As the concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.
The neutralization reaction for monoprotic acid is:
The neutralization reaction for diprotic acid is:
Thus more number of moles of base are required for neutralization of diprotic acid and thus the volume required will be more as concentration and volume of the diprotic acid and the monoprotic acids are equal.
