Exhibit 16-2 Consider titrating CH 3 COOH with standard NaOH (delivered from the burette) to answer the following question(s). -Refer to Exhibit 16-2. What compound(s) is(are) present in the region after the titration has begun but before the equivalence point? I. CH₃COOH II. NaOH III. CH₃COO^-Na⁺

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before the equivalence point, there is an excess of CH₃COOH present in the solution, as well as the initial addition of NaOH that has not yet reacted. Additionally, the reaction between the acid and base creates the compound CH₃COO^-Na⁺, which is a salt and therefore remains in solution. Therefore, options I and III are present before the equivalence point. Option II is not present as it has not yet been added to the solution.
