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 Group of answer choices

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

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.

b is the correct

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
