Chemistry Question on Some basic concepts of chemistry
\({20 mL}) of \({ 0.5\, N\, HCl}) and \({35\, mL}) of \({0.1 \,N\, NaOH}) are mixed. The resulting solution will
A
be neutral
B
be basic
C
turn phenolphthalein solution pink
D
turn methyl orange red.
Answer
turn methyl orange red.
Explanation
Solution
\({20 \, mL}) of \({0.5\, N\, HCl = 20 \times 0.5\, milli e}) \({= 10\, milli\, e \,of \,HCl}) \({35\, mL }) of \({ 0.1\, N \, NaOH = 35 \times 0.1\, milli \, e}) \({= 3.5\, milli \, e \, of \, NaOH.}) Thus, \({3.5\, milli \, e \, of \, NaOH }) will neutralize 3.5millieofHCl(10−3.5)=6.5millieofHCl will be left. Therefore, solution will be acidic and it will turn methyl orange red.
