<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

How does the tendency of iron to rust depend on ph?
mojhsa [17]
The  tendency  of  iron  to  rust   depend  on  the  Ph   of solution

 The   formation  of  rust  increases  as  the  PH  decreases.  This  led  agent  of  rusting  that  is  oxygen  gets  more  positive  as  H+  ions  increase   which  facilitate     rusting. The    lower  the  Ph  level  the   quick  the   corrosion.

For the reactants,

  • The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
  • The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
  • The oxidation number of arsenic = +5
  • The oxidation number of carbon = +3

For the products,

  • The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
  • The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
  • The oxidation number of arsenic = +3
  • The oxidation number of carbon = +4

Here, arsenic (+5 to +3) and carbon (+3 to +4) are the only oxidation numbers changing.

Note that an increase in oxidation number means electrons are lost. Thus oxidation is occurring, and a decrease in oxidation number means electrons are being gained, and thus reduction is occurring.

Also, the compound that contains the element being oxidized is the reducing agent, and the compound that contains the element being reduced is the oxidizing agent.

So, the answers are:

name of the element oxidized: Carbon

name of the element reduced: Arsenic

formula of the oxidizing agent: \text{H}_{3}\text{AsO}_{4}

formula of the reducing agent: \text{H}_{2}\text{C}_{2}\text{O}_{4}
