Q & A

What is a neutralization reaction in acid-base chemistry?

A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce salt and water. In this process, the hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid combine with hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the base to form water, while the remaining ions form a salt.

What happens to hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) when they react?

When HCl (hydrochloric acid) reacts with NaOH (sodium hydroxide), they form sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H₂O). The H⁺ ions from HCl combine with OH⁻ ions from NaOH to form H₂O, and the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions form the salt NaCl.

How do you balance the equation for the neutralization of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) with potassium hydroxide (KOH)?

The equation for the neutralization of H₂SO₄ with KOH is: H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O. In this case, two KOH molecules are required to neutralize one H₂SO₄ molecule, forming potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) and water.

Why do we use stoichiometry in acid-base neutralization reactions?

Stoichiometry is used to determine the precise amount of reactants needed to completely neutralize each other in acid-base reactions. It helps calculate the amount of excess acid or base after the neutralization and allows for pH calculations.

What is the purpose of calculating pH in acid-base reactions?

Calculating pH helps determine the acidity or basicity of a solution. In acid-base neutralization reactions, pH is used to understand whether the resulting solution is acidic, neutral, or basic based on the concentrations of remaining H⁺ or OH⁻ ions.

How do you calculate the pH of a solution when an acid and a base react?

To calculate the pH of a solution, first determine which reactant is in excess after the neutralization. Then, calculate the concentration of the remaining H⁺ or OH⁻ ions. For H⁺ ions, use the formula pH = -log[H⁺], and for OH⁻ ions, use pOH = -log[OH⁻], then find the pH by subtracting pOH from 14.

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid in terms of their dissociation?

A strong acid completely dissociates into H⁺ ions and its conjugate anion in solution, whereas a weak acid only partially dissociates, producing fewer H⁺ ions. This difference affects the pH of the solution, with strong acids producing lower pH values.

How do you determine whether a solution is acidic, neutral, or basic after an acid-base neutralization?

After an acid-base neutralization, if there are leftover H⁺ ions, the solution will be acidic. If there are leftover OH⁻ ions, the solution will be basic. If neither is present, the solution is neutral with a pH of 7.

What steps are involved in calculating the pH of a mixture of strong acid and strong base?

First, write the simplified neutralization reaction (H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O). Then, calculate the initial moles of H⁺ and OH⁻ using molarity and volume. Perform stoichiometric calculations to determine which reactant is in excess, calculate the remaining concentration of the excess ion, and finally, calculate the pH based on that concentration.

How do you balance the reaction between nitric acid (HNO₃) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)?

The reaction between HNO₃ and Ca(OH)₂ is: 2HNO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O. Two moles of HNO₃ react with one mole of Ca(OH)₂ to form calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) and water.
