Question

The pH of a finished water from a softening process is 10.74. What amount of 0.002 N sulfuric acid, in milliliters, is required to neutralize 1 L of the finished water? Assume the buffering capacity is zero.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The pH of the finished water from a softening process is 10.74, greater than 7. Hence the solution is basic in nature. The basic solution is neutralized by sulfuric acid. To calculate the amount of required acid first of all we calculate the hydroxide ion concentration in the given solution.
