At the anode
B.
At the cathode
C.
In the salt bridge only
D.
At both electrodes equally
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A. At the anode
Explanation:

A.
Point where indicator first changes color in every case
B.
Point where stoichiometrically equivalent acid and base amounts have reacted
C.
Point where pH is always 7
D.
Point where no water is present
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B. Point where stoichiometrically equivalent acid and base amounts have reacted
Explanation:
The equivalence point is defined by reaction stoichiometry.
Its pH depends on acid and base strengths.

Choose an option to check your answer.
A.
Total enthalpy of products
B.
Minimum energy barrier for a reaction pathway
C.
Energy released by a catalyst
D.
Bond energy of every reactant
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B. Minimum energy barrier for a reaction pathway
Explanation:
Reacting particles need sufficient energy and orientation to form an activated complex.
Higher activation energy generally means slower reaction at the same temperature.
