Question about Titration!?

Question

In a titration, when the number of moles of hydrogen ions equals the number of moles of hydroxide ions, what is said to have happened

A.) The equivalence point has been reached.

B.) The titration has failed.

C.) The end point has been reached.

D.) The point of neutralization has been reached.

Answer 1

The answer is D.

When the number of H+ (hydrogen) ions exceeds the number of OH- (hydroxide) ions then you have an acidic solution (pH less than 7). When OH- exceeds H+ then it is a basic solution (pH greater than 7). When H+ and OH- are equal the solution is neutral (pH7.0).

Answer 2

The correct term that a chemist would use when a titration has been completed is "the endpoint has been reached." So the correct answer is C. however, A also seems to fit this answer as the no of OH- ions =  no of H+ ions, thus, one could say that the equivalence point is reached. The more specific answer would be (A) but the general term used in titration is (C).
