Exercise 2 (4 pts)

Given: M(Na)= 23 g.mol-1 ; M(H)=1 g.mol-1 ; M(O)=16 g.mol-1; Kw= 10-14 at 25°C

I- Strong Base

1.1. Sodium hydroxide NaOH is a strong base. Write its ionization reaction in water.

1.2. Its pH=12. Determine the concentration of hydroxide ions [OH-].

1.3. Determine the mass of sodium hydroxide that must be dissolved in 100mL

in order to prepare an NaOH solution of pH=12.

II-Strong Acid

2.1 Hydrochloric acid HCl is a strong acid. Write its ionization reaction in water .

2.2. Its pH=1. Determine the concentration of hydronium ions [H3O+].

III-Neutralization Reaction

In order to study the neutralization reaction between acids and bases we mix a sample of
each of the previously mentioned solutions in a beaker. 10mL of the KOH solution are
mixed with 10mL of the HCl solution. The reaction is represented by the following net ionic

Exercise 2 (4 pts)

I- Strong Base

1.1. NaOH  Na+ + OH-

1.2. [OH-]= Kw/10-pH= 0.01 mol.L-1

1.3. m=C x V x M=0.04g

II-Strong Acid
2.1 HCl +H2O  H3O+ + Cl-

2.2. [H3O+]= 10-pH= 0.1 mol.L-1

III-Neutralization Reaction

H3O+ + OH- → 2 H2O

3.1 R1= nH3O+/1 = CxV= 0.1 x 0.01= 10-3 mol.L-1

R2= nOH-/1= CxV= 0.01x 0.01=10-4 mol

R H3O+ > R OH-

3.2 nH3O+ left = n initial – n conc nH3O+ cons/1=nOH- cons /1

= 9x 10-4 mol

[H3O+]= n/Vt=9x 10-4 /0.02= 4.5x 10-2 mol.L-1

pH= 1.3
