Question
Use the scenario to answer the following question.
A group of students working in a chemistry lab is planning a procedure to neutralize
25.0mL of 2.0 M hydrochloric acid (strong acid) with 1.0 M potassium hydroxide
(strong base). In their procedure they plan on adding an equal volume of the base
to the acid.
What would be the expected outcome of carrying out this step as planned?
O A. The resulting pH will be equal to 7 because a strong base will neutralize a
strong acid.
B. The resulting pH will be greater than 7 because potassium hydroxide is less
concentrated than the hydrochloric acid.
C. The resulting pH will not be able to be determined because the
concentrations of the acid and base are not the same.
D. The resulting pH will be less than 7 because potassium hydroxide is less
concentrated than the hydrochloric acid.
