If approximately equal volumes of an acid and a base of equal strengths are combined, the resulting solution should have a pH of _____.
If approximately equal volumes of an acid and a base of equal strengths are combined, the resulting solution should have pH of around 7.
Answer : The resulting solution will have a pH of 7.
Explanation:
Whenever acid and base reacts with each other to form water molecule is called Neutralization reaction. This water molecules is formed from the hydronium ion (\(H^+\)) from acid and hydroxide ion(\(OH^-\)) from base.
When the equal volumes of acid and base of equal strength are combined, the resulting pH of the solution becomes 7.
The pH 7 value means that the solution is neutral.
