detailed step and good handwriting is needed thank u
A student mixes 40. mL of 0.10 M HBr(aq) with 60. mL of 0.10 M KOH(aq) at 25°C. What is the [OH-] of the resulting solution?

Answer #1

it is a neutralisation reaction

HBr + KOH → KBr + H2O

for complete neutralisation

No. of millimoles of Acid = No. of millimoles of Base.

the nature of resulting solution is depending upon which chemical [resent in higher in amount.

for example

No. of millimoles of Acid > No. of millimoles of Base - Solution is Acidic in nature.

No. of millimoles of Acid < No. of millimoles of Base - Solution is Basic in nature

No. of millimoles = Molarity x volume of solution( in ml)

No. of millimoles of Acid (HBr) = 40 x 0.10 = 4 millimoles

No. of millimoles of Base (KOH) = 60 x 0.10 = 6 millimoles.

since both acid and base are mono basic and mono acidic respectively .

therefore 4 millimoles of acid neutralised by 4 millimoles of base.

hence in solution 6 - 4 = 2 millimoles base is left.

conc. of OH- = Conc. of KOH.

because

кон - K+ + OH-

[OH - ] = no of millimoles of base / total volume of solution in ml = 0.02 M

Ans. 0.02 M
