<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

larisa86 [58]
<span>When an electron, which is negatively charged, moves towards an electronegative atom, the electronegative atom pulls in the electron. This causes the electronegative atom to be reduced. This entire process also releases energy.</span>

Which of these bonds is the weakest?​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.

47.0ml of a HBr solution were titrated with 37.5ml of a 0.215M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. what is the molarit
faltersainse [42]

Hello!

The molarity of the HBr solution is 0,172 M.

Why?

The neutralization reaction between LiOH and HBr is the following:

HBr(aq) + LiOH(aq) → LiBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

To solve this exercise, we are going to apply the common titration equation:

M1*V1=M2*V2

M1=\frac{M2*V2}{V1}= \frac{0,215 M * 37,5 mL}{47 mL}=0,172 M

There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 7 days in a week, and 4 weeks in a month? using these conversions how many m
Serggg [28]

Explanation:

From your information above, assume 1 month is 28 days

1 days=24hours ; 28 days=672 hours (just multiply 1 days with 28)

1 hour=60minutes ; 672 hours=40,320 minutes

.. 1 month=40,320 minutes
