Interpretation : The point in the titration when neutralization occurs is called the equivalence point is to be explained.
Concept Introduction : Salt and water are created when bases and acids react.
A strong acid and strong base react completely to form a neutral solution. A neutralization reaction is a name for this kind of reaction.
Answer to Problem 40LC
The point during the occurrence of neutralization is called the equivalence point because it is the point where the number of moles of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is equal.
Explanation of Solution
When the number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions are equal in moles, neutralization takes place.
It is said that these two values are equal.
The equivalence point is the point at which neutralization takes place.
The point is called the equivalence point since it is dependent on the equal moles of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.
