Problem

A student titrates 50.0 mL of a 0.10 M aqueous solution with 0.10 M titrant at 25 °C. The titration curve begins at pH ≈ 11 and has an equivalence point at pH ≈ 5.8. Which combination of reactant and titrant most plausibly produced this curve? (a) CH3COOH\mathrm{CH_3COOH} titrated with NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} (b) NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} titrated with CH3COOH\mathrm{CH_3COOH} (c) Aqueous NH3\mathrm{NH_3} titrated with HCl\mathrm{HCl} (d) HCl\mathrm{HCl} titrated with NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}
