Answer to Question #290818 in General Chemistry for decky

Question

24) What volume of 0.1500N reagent is needed for the preparation of 500.00 ml 0.100 N solution? (Note that in this problem it is not necessary to know what the reagent is. Since the normality is given, the computation does not in any way depend on whether the solution contains an acid, base, or salt)

Answer 1

In a strong acid-strong base titration, the acid and base will react to form a neutral solution. At the equivalence point of the reaction, hydronium (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions will react to form water, leading to a pH of 7. This is true of all strong acid-strong base titrations.
