Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Concept introduction:
Molarity is number of moles of solute present per liter of solution.
When acid and base are mixed, they neutralize each other. So their molar concentrations can be calculated by applying mole concept.
Answer to Problem 60A
The resulting solution is acidic.
Solution turns pink
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Calculation:
When nitric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide reaction is given by:
Thus one mol acid reacts with one mol base.
This impies,
Thus,
Density of nitric acid=1.51 g/ml
And,
Thus,
Therefore,
Now,
As overall solution is acidic, it will turn litmus pink.
Thus, the resulting solution is acidic.
Solution turns pink.
