<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>

PH is 7 in case the strength of the acid and base are the same ( i.e. either weak or strong). In case of strong acid weak base or weak acid strong base titrations, buffer solutions can be formed which result in a pH other than 7

Calculate the number of moles of ethanol acid in 30 cm³of 1 mol dm-³ solution ​
muminat

Answer:

May I assume "ethanol acid is just ethanol (it has one slightly acidic H atom).  If so, the molar mass is 46.02 g/mole.

Explanation:

We have 30 cm^3 [30 ml] of 1.0 M (1 mole/liter)  [1 dm³ = 1 liter].

That is 1 mole/liter.  30 ml would contain (0.030 liter)*(1 mole/1 liter) = 0.03 moles.
