Question

If I added 50 mL of a 1.0 M HCIO2 solution to 50 mL of a 1.0 M NaOH

solution, what would the pH of the resulting solution be? *

Answer 1

pH=7

Step-by-step explanation:

0.05 L*1.0M= 0.05 mol HClO2 and 0.05 mol NaOH

HClO2 + NaOH ---> NaClO2 + H2O

0.05 mol 0.05 mol

As we can see acid and base react completely, solution will be neutral, so pH =7
