Question

Explain why the following statement is true. please write your response using complete sentences.

Answer 1

The initial number of moles of the unknown acid (HA) is equal to the final amount of the number of moles of the known base (NaOH) because they fully consumed each other.

What is neutralization reaction?

Neutralization reactions are those reactions in which acids and bases reacts with each other for the formation of water and salt.

Acids reacts with base to form salt means all gets consumed by each other so the initial moles of an unknown acid is equal to the final moles of the known base.

And reaction between them is shown as:

HA + NaOH → NaA + H₂O

Hence acids and bases fully consumed each other that's why we can calculate the moles of unknown substance.
