Answer:
d. the conjugate base.
Explanation:
The general reaction of a weak acid, HA, with a strong base YOH, is:
HA + YOH → A⁻ + H₂O + Y⁻
<em>Where A⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid and Y⁻ usually is a strong electrolyte.</em>
<em />
That means after he complete reaction you don't have weak acid nor strong base, just conjugate base that will be in equilibrium with water, thus (Strong electrolyte doesn't change pH:
A⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HA + OH⁻
As the equilibrium is producing OH⁻, the pH of the solution is being affected for the conjugate base
Right option:
<h3>d. the conjugate base.
</h3>
