Answer:
The solution is basic.
Explanation:
We can determine the nature of the solution via determining which has the large no. of millimoles (acid or base):
- If no. of millimoles of acid > that of base; the solution is acidic.
- If no. of millimoles of acid = that of base; the solution is neutral.
- If no. of millimoles of acid < that of base; the solution is basic.
- We need to calculate the no. of millimoles of acid and base:
no. of millimoles of acid (HNO₃) = MV = (1.3 M)(75.0 mL) = 97.5 mmol.
no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) = MV = (6.5 M)(150.0 mL) = 975.0 mmol.
<em>∴ The no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) is larger by 10 times than the acid (HNO₃).</em>
<em>So, the solution is: basic.</em>
I believe the answer is D
We could (a) stir faster and (b) warm the mixture.
<em>Stirring faster</em> moves freshly-dissolved sugar away from the solid and allows new water molecules to contact with the surface,
<em>Warming the mixture</em> gives the water molecules more kinetic energy, so their collisions with the surface of the sugar will be more effective in removing the sugar molecules.
