The second law of thermodynamics states that in a reversible process, the entropy of the universe is constant, whereas in an irreversible process, such as the transfer of heat from a hot object to a cold object, the entropy of the universe increases
The concentration is 5 g/L.
Concentration = mass/volume = 10 g/2 L = 5 g/L
Lets assume x volume of NaOH and x volume of HCl are added together.
NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻
NaOH is a strong base therefore it completely ionizes and releases OH⁻ ions into the medium
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base and completely ionizes and releases H⁺ ions in to the medium. number of NaOH moles in 1 L - 0.1 mol
Therefore in x L - 0.1 /1 * x = 0.1x moles of NaOH present
Similarly in HCl x L contains - 0.1x moles of HCl
H⁺ + OH⁻ ---> H₂O
Due to complete ionisation, 0.1x moles of H⁺ ions and 0.1x moles of OH⁻ ions react to form 0.1x moles of H₂O. Therefore all H⁺ and OH⁻are completely used up and yield water molecules.
Then at this point the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the medium come from the weak dissociation of water. This is equivalent to 1 x 10⁻⁷M
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [10⁻⁷]
pH = 7
pH is therefore equals to 7 which means the solution is neutral
<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of weak acid is
moles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the moles of KOH, we use the equation:

We are given:
Volume of solution = 43.81 mL = 0.04381 L (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)
Molarity of the solution = 0.0969 moles/ L
Putting values in above equation, we get:

The chemical reaction of weak monoprotic acid and KOH follows the equation:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of KOH reacts with 1 mole of weak monoprotic acid.
So,
of KOH will react with =
of weak monoprotic acid.
Hence, the number of moles of weak acid is
moles.
