You have error in using " inside the third inserted value

INSERT INTO 
   QUESTION (QuestionType,QuestionID,QuestionTitle) 
VALUES ('MRQ',
        'QNB5T6TKDMS',
        '<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: small;">
         what was the original concentration of the acid?</span></p>'
       );

You can also use escape slashes
