Question 5

Marks: 1

A titration was carried out using 25.00 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 propanoic acid with 0.100 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide. The indicator phenolphthalein was used to determine the equivalence point. Phenolphthalein has a pH range of 8.3 to 10.0.  

If hydrochloric acid was used instead of propanoic acid of the same concentration, which of the following would remain the same? 

  • The volume of base needed to reach the equivalence point

  • The pH at the equivalence point 

  • The y intercept on the pH curve

  • The colour of the solution just before equivalence had been reached
