Chapter 4, Problem 4.76P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The liters of $2.40M\text{ HF}$ that will react with $2.15\text{ kg}$ of ${\text{UO}}_2$ in the following reaction is to be determined.

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.

Neutralization reaction involves the reaction of acid and base in stoichiometric amount that is equal mole of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions reacts to form the product.
