Chapter 22.2, Problem 1PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The $\text{pH}$ value of a solution prepared by mixing $\text{10}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.160}\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ with $\text{15}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of water is to be calculated. The amount of antacid required to neutralize the given volume of acid is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The concentration of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solution. Concentration of a solution is expressed in moles per unit volume of a substance.

To determine: The $\text{pH}$ value of a solution prepared by mixing $\text{10}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.160}\text{M}$ $\text{HCl}$ with $\text{15}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of water and the amount of antacid required to neutralize the given volume of acid.
