Chapter 4, Problem 62E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The possible identities for the unknown base if the unknown base concentration is $0.0300\text{M}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction: In neutralization reaction of strong acid and base, no ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions from acid and ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions from base left unreacted in solution. The solution is known to be a neutralized solution as it is neither alkaline nor acidic. The reaction involves the combination of hydrogen and hydroxide ions which results in formation of water.
