Answer to Question #162332 in Organic Chemistry for Satyajay Mandal

Question

Can you name any substance which is a mixture of two monovalent alkalies (preferably metal hydroxides) in the ratio 1:3, which can be used to neutralize aqua regia as it is a mixture of two monovalent acids in the ratio 1:3 as you have said, since aqua regia is a mixture of two concentrated acids, this substance shall be a mixture of two concentrated alkalies and as you said, the pH of this mixture should be almost near to 14 which should mean that it will be highly alkaline, also name the complex cation (with valence) formed in that case, and which one will act as the reducer in that mixture, you shall also tell the endpoint in it

Answer 1

Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide
