Complete question is;
When a diprotic acid is titrated with a strong base, and the Ka1 and Ka2 are significantly different, then the pH vs. volume plot of the titration will have
a. a pH of 7 at the equivalence point.
b. two equivalence points below 7.
c. no equivalence point.
d. one equivalence point.
e. two distinct equivalence points
Answer:
Option E - Two Distinct Equivalence points
Explanation:
I've attached a sample diprotic acid titration curve.
In diprotic acids, the titration curves assists us to calculate the Ka1 and Ka2 of the acid. Thus, the pH at the half - first equivalence point in the titration will be equal to the pKa1 of the acid while the pH at the half - second equivalence point in a titration is equal to the pKa2 of the acid.
Thus, it is clear that there are two distinct equivalence points.
