If approximately equal volumes of an acid and a base of equal strengths are combined, the resulting solution should have a pH of
2 answers:
Answer : The resulting solution will have a pH of 7.
Explanation:
Whenever acid and base reacts with each other to form water molecule is called Neutralization reaction. This water molecules is formed from the hydronium ion () from acid and hydroxide ion(
) from base.
When the equal volumes of acid and base of equal strength are combined, the resulting pH of the solution becomes 7.
The pH 7 value means that the solution is neutral.

First you calculate the pOH of the solution:
pH+ pOH = 14
3.25 + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 3.25
pOH = 10.75
<span>Concentration of [OH]</span>⁻<span> in solution:
</span>
[ OH⁻ ] =
[ OH⁻ ] = 10^ - 10.75
[OH⁻] = 1.778 x 10⁻¹¹ M
hope this helps !
