<u>Answer:</u> The initial pH of the HCl solution is 3
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of 
ions and 1 mole of 
ions
To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
We are given:
![[H^+]=0.001M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.001M)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the initial pH of the HCl solution is 3
B. False
When the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in a given amount of solvent, we say that the solution is saturated with solute.
Answer:
C. A metal ion takes the place of the hydrogen of an acid
Explanation:
When an acid react with base neutralization reaction take place.
During neutralization reaction water and salt are formed.
For example;
Base sodium hydroxide react with hydrochloric acid and form sodium chloride and water.
The sodium hydroxide consist of sodium metal ion in the form of Na⁺ and OH⁻. when it react with acid hydrogen atom of acid replace by sodium metal and react with anion of acid and form salt called sodium chloride.
Chemical equation:
NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O
