Given information

Two monoprotic acid solutions  are titrated with identical   solutions. The volume to reach the equivalence point for solution  is twice the volume required to reach the equivalence point for solution  , and the  at the equivalence point of solution  is higher than the   at the equivalence point for solution .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Reason for correct answer:

The volume required to reach the equivalence point for solution   is given as twice the volume required to reach the equivalence point for solution .

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base. The reaction of a strong base and a strong acid produces a neutral salt in equilibrium. The reaction of a strong base and a weak acid produces a basic salt in equilibrium. The   of solution   is given to be low, so solution   is a stronger acid than .

Hence, the correct statement is, "The acid in solution   is more concentrated than in solution   and is also a stronger acid than that in solution  ".
