Answer:
Explanation:
At the beginning, you have two reactions happening:
As you add KOH(aq), it does two things:
- It increases the volume of the solution.
- It reacts with the hydronium ions to form water.
A) The HCl is completely ionized. The Cl⁻ does not react, but it is diluted when the volume of the solution increases. [Cl⁻] decreases.
B) The KOH reacts with the H⁺ and removes it from the solution. [H⁺] decreases.
C) When all the H⁺ from the HCl has been neutralized, the KOH starts neutralizing the H⁺ from the HClO₂. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, more HClO₂ will dissociate to replace the decreased H⁺. [HClO₂] decreases.
D) As HClO₂ reacts, it forms ClO₂⁻.
