B - Litmus paper
C - pH meter
D - Conductivity meter
A - Phenolphthalein
B - Litmus paper
C - pH meter

All are correct because each indicator is used to detect when the solution is acidic or basic through color changes or other indications, which is enough to find the equivalence point.
What is used to detect the end point of a titration?
An indicator.
A solution at 26*C has a hydroxide ion concentration of 1x10^-3 M. What is its pH?
A - 11
B - 3
C - 10^-3
D - 10^-11
A - 11 (Convert to pOH using -log[OH], which is 3, then find the difference of that with 14, which is the pH, 11)
B - 3 (Using concentration of hydroxide, which is the pOH, question asks for pH)
C - 10^-3 (Not converted into pH)
D - 10^-7 (Not converted into pH)
A student places blue litmus paper inside of an unknown substance. The paper turns red, which indicates that the unknown substance is a base.
A - True
B - False
A - True
B - False (If the substance was a base, the blue litmus paper would remain blue. This indicates that it's an acid
In any neutralization reaction, the hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to form ____.
Water (H2O)
What equipment is needed for a titration? (Choose all that apply)
A - Burette
B - Flask
C - Beaker
D - Graduated Cylinder
A - Burette
B - Flask
C - Beaker
D - Graduated Cylinder
A) Correct, a Burette is essential for calculating the precise volumes of the titrant
B) Correct, a flask is used to contain the solution being titrated
C) Incorrect, beakers aren't used because you can't see the color change clearly
D) Incorrect, graduated cylinders aren't precise enough
VolumexConcentration = Volume2 x Concentration2

B - 1 pOH (Considered a really strong base)
C - 6 pH (Considered an acid)
D - 6 pOH (A pOH of 6 is the closest to being neutral, but still considered a base)
