Question

As 0.1M HCl is added to 0.1M KOH, then pH of the basic solution

A. decreases and basicity decreases

B. increases and basicity decreases

C. decreases and basicity increases

D. increases and basicity increases

Answer 1

The answer to your question is A. decreases and basicity decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.1 M HCl is an acid solution that means that its pH is between 0 and 6.9.

0.1 M KOH is a base that means that its pH is between 7.1 and 14.

If we add HCl to NaOH the pH of NaOH will start to decrease and the basicity will also decrease.
