Question

A beaker of potassium hydroxide needs to be neutralized with the smallest possible volume of acid. Which acid should be used if they all have the same mass/volume concentration?

A. Hydrochloric acid

B. Ammonia

C. Hydrobromic acid

D. Nitric acid

E. Hydrofluoric acid

F. All of these would neutralize barium hydroxide with the same volume

Expert Solution

Step 1

Since the concentration of acids in the beaker is same for all

Hence the acid which has more acidic H present in it will be requiring smallest volume.

Since among the given acids all are mono-acidic. That means all acids have only 1 acidic H.

hence the volume required by all the acids will be same.

hence answer will be F
