Question

Which of the following pairs of reactants is not correctly listed with its product solution? A. Weak base-strong acid reactants— more acidic solutions B. Weak acid-strong base reactants— more basic solutions C. Strong base-strong acid reactants—neutral solutions D. Strong acid-strong base reactants—more acidic solutions

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Strong acid-strong base reactants—more acidic solutions

Explanation:

A strong acid and strong base solution will neutralize each other. The solution has an equal number of proton (H⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻).  

For example, HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O  

NaCl is a neutral salt where are HCl and NaOH are strong acids and base respectively. NaCl solution has a pH close 7.0 making it neither acidic nor basic.  

Answer 2

D is incorrect for this.
