Chapter 4, Problem 4.135P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of monoprotic acid $\text{HA}$ and $\text{HB}$ that reacts with $\text{NaOH}$ are to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Strong acids and strong bases are the substance that dissociates completely into its ions when dissolved in the solution. They dissociate completely in water to release ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions.

Weak acids and weak bases are the substance that does not dissociate completely into its ions when dissolved in the solution. They dissociate partially in water to release ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions.

The driving force of the acid-base reaction is the formation of a gaseous product or precipitate in the reaction.
