Unit 8.4: Acid-Base Reactions and Buffers
Determine the pH of a solution after complete neutralization of a strong
acid and strong base.
- Find the pH after mixing 50 mL 0.1 M HCl with 50 mL 0.1 M NaOH.
-
Explain how the stoichiometry of acid and base affects the final pH.
Write the equation for acid-base reactions (strong-strong, weak-strong,
or weak-weak).
- Write the reaction equation for HCl + NaOH.
- Write the reaction for acetic acid with NH₃.
Determine the pH of a solution after neutralization.
-
Calculate the pH after 25 mL 0.2 M HCl is neutralized by 50 mL 0.1 M
NaOH.
- Explain how excess acid or base changes the final pH.
