Consider the titrations of the pairs of aqueous acids and bases listed at the left. Which pair is incorrectly described (at the right) in terms of the acidic, basic or neutral character of the solutions ar the equivalence point?     Acid-Base Pair  Character at Equivalence Point  (A)    HClO + NaOH           acidic  (B)   HNO 3 + Ca(OH) 2           neutral  (C)  CH 3COOH  +  KOH           basic  (D)  HCl  +  NH 3           acidic  (E)  CH 3COOH  +  NH 3           neutral Hint: The conjugate base of a weak acid will hydrolyze water, similarly a conjugate acid of a weak base will hydrolyze water Example: HF + NaOH → H2O + F- + Na+; The F- is the conjugate base of the weak acid HF. The F- can react with water (hydrolysis) as shown below to produce OH- to make the equilibrium basic. F-  +  H2O  →  HF  +  OH-
