Concept Introduction:
Equivalence point:
The equivalence point in titration is the point where the amount of standard titrant solution (in moles) and the unknown concentration analyte solution (in moles) becomes equal.
In other words, the equivalence point is the point obtained in a titration once a stoichiometric amount of reactant has been added.
Relationship between pH and pOH:

Explanation of Solution
To Explain: Whether the solution at the equivalence point is neutral, acidic or basic
As a result of titration Potassium propionate salt is produced.
Potassium propionate is the salt of a weak acid and a strong base.
Propionate ion reacts with water to produce hydroxide ions.
Therefore, the given solution is basic
