Question

Why are strong acids generally used as standard solutions in acid-base titrations ?

• A. The pH at the equivalent point will be 7.
• B. They can be used to titrate both strong and weak bases.
• C. Strong acids form more stable solutions than weak acids.
• D. The salts of strong acids do not hydrolyze.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

They can be used to titrate both strong and weak bases.

Strong acid can react with both strong and weak base. Hence it is used as a std. solution in acid base titrations.

option B is correct.
