The pH at the equivalence point in any titration is the pH of the salt solution formed. At the equivalence point of the titration, the solution contains sodium benzoate and water. The passage states that benzoic acid is a weak acid; therefore, its conjugate base, the benzoate anion, is a stronger base than OH- and reacts with water to produce OH- and undissociated benzoic acid. The resulting solution then has a pH > 7, because of the hydroxide ions produced by this reaction. The reaction of an ion such as benzoate ion with water is called hydrolysis. A. < 4

B. > 4 and < 7

C. = 7

D. > 7

This is a mixture that has the same composition throughout.

Nebulae are enormous clouds in outer space. they are made mostly of hydrogen gas, helium gas, and dust. some nebulae glow brightly, while others do not. the stars that people see are huge, bright balls of glowing gas. they are made mostly of hydrogen and helium. which statement correctly describes other ways in which nebulae and stars are different? a. stars can form inside a nebula but a nebula can never be produced by any star. b. a star always has a higher density than a nebula. c. stars can never form inside a nebula but a nebula can be produced by any star. d. a nebula always has a higher density than a star.
