Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How would you neutralize a weak base?
A
a weak acid
B
a strong acid
C
a strong base
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The equivalence point of a neutralization reaction is when both the acid and the base in the reaction have been completely consumed and neither of them are in excess. When a strong acid neutralizes a weak base, the resulting solution’s pH will be less than 7.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use a weak acid to neutralize bases. Examples include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonia. Many different products aid in the neutralization of acids and bases.

Detailed explanation-3: –Weak acid-weak base neutralization reaction in which a weak acid reacts with a weak base to form a neutral salt and water. Acetic acid reacts with ammonium hydroxide to form ammonium acetate and water is an example of this type of reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -To neutralize acids, a weak base is used. Bases have a bitter or astringent taste and a pH greater than 7. Common bases are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -(C) Heat of neutralization of strong acid and weak base is less than 13.7 kcal/mol.
