Chapter 4, Problem 4.77P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass percent of $\text{Al}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_3$ in the $0.4826\text{ g}$ mixture of $\text{Al}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_3$ and $\text{Mg}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_2$ that is neutralized with $17.30\text{ mL}$ of $1.000M{\text{ HNO}}_3$ is 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.

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.
