Chapter 6, Problem 102AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid has to be written and to identify the substance that will completely neutralize hydrochloric acid.

Concept introduction: When acid and base quantitatively react with each other, then the chemical reactions are called as neutralization reactions. In this type of reactions, there is no excess of ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}\text{or}{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ present in the solution.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Concept introduction:

The neutralization of acids and bases results in the formation of salts.

The concentration of solution can be defined in terms of molarity as moles of solute per volume of solution in litres. It is given by the equation,

$\text{Molarity}\text{=}\frac{\text{Moles}\text{of}\text{solute(in moles)}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{solution(in}\text{litres)}}$
