Chapter 8.2, Problem 3RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation :

A picture must be drawn to show strong acid solution of HNO3 and strong base solution of KOH along with ions in separate beaker.

Concept Introduction :

HNO3 is a strong acid which dissociates almost completely in aqueous solution.

KOH is a strong base which dissociates completely in aqueous solution.

Answer to Problem 3RQ

Picture of HNO3 solution and KOH solution are shown below along with ions in separate beakers.

  World of Chemistry, Chapter 8.2, Problem 3RQ

Explanation of Solution

From the drawing it can be seen that HNO3 is completely dissociated to produce H+ (shown in red) and NO3-(shown in black) ions.

Similarly KOH solution contains K+ (shown in sky blue) and OH- (shown in blue) ions.

As these are strong electrolytes so there is complete dissociation. No undissociated molecule can be seen.
