5 millimoles of caustic potash and 5 millimoles of oxalic acid are mixed and dissolved in 100 mL water. The solution will be
basic
acidic
neutral
cannot say
B.
acidic
The equation for the reaction of oxalic acid with a solution of caustic potash.
2KOH (aq) + H2C2O4.2H2O (aq) K2C2O4 (aq) + 4H2O
Molarity equation,
where, M1 = molarity of acid = 5 millimol
M2 = molarity of base = 5 millimol
V1 = volome of acid = 100 mL
V2 = volume of base = 100 mL
n1 = stoichiometric coeffecient of acid = 1
n2 = stoichiometric coeffecient of base = 2
As it is clear from balanced equation that 2 moles of KOH are required to neutralize one mole of oxalic acid. Thus, the solution formed by 5 millimoles of KOH and 5 millimoles of oxalic acid mixed and dissolved in 100 mL water will be acidic.
Which solution is a buffer?
Acetic acid + NaOH (equimolar ratio)
Acetic acid + NaOH (1 : 2 molar ratio)
Acetic acid + NaOH (2 : 1 molar ratio)
HCl + NaOH (equimolar ratio)
