(a)
Interpretation:
The concentration of the given bases with a
Concept Information:
Strong acids:
In strong acids, the ionization of acid is complete. This implies that the concentration of the hydrogen ion or hydronium ion will be equal to the initial concentration of the acid at equilibrium.
Strong bases:
Strong bases are formed from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals of Group IA and IIA respectively.
Strong base dissociates into its constituent ions.
For Group IA metal hydroxides, the hydroxide ion concentration is simply the initial concentration of the strong base
For Group IIA metal hydroxides, the hydroxide ion concentration at equilibrium will be twice that of the initial concentration of strong base

Justify your answer. c Calculate the H3O+ concentration and the pH of the solution. d Is there any concentration of the base OH present in this solution of HCl(aq)? If so, where did it come from? e If you increase the OH concentration of the solution by adding NaOH, does the H3O+ concentration change? If you think it does, explain why this change occurs and whether the H3O+ concentration increases or decreases. f If you were to measure the pH of 10 drops of the original HCl solution, would you expect it to be different from the pH of the entire sample? Explain. g Explain how two different volumes of your original HCl solution can have the same pH yet contain different moles of H3O+. h If 1.0 L of pure water were added to the HCl solution, would this have any impact on the pH?
