In this item, it is assumed that we are to express the given compound in their ionic form. To be able to determine as to what ions this compound will dissociate into, we have the chemical reaction.
HNO3 --> H⁺ + NO₃⁻
Hence, the ions are H⁺, NO₃⁻.
Answer:
Explanation:
The number of moles of solute is equal to product of the molar concentration (molarity) and the volume (in liters) of solution.
Since the volumes and the molar concentrations of the<em> NaOH </em>and <em>HCl </em>solutions mixed are equal, each one of them contributes the same number of moles of solute.
Since every mol of NaOH produces one mol of OH⁻ ions and every mol of HCl produces one mol of H⁺ ion, the number of moles of OH ⁻ and H⁺ in solution are equal.
Thus, OH⁻ and H⁺ ions will be neutralized by the reaction:
- OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) ⇄ H₂O (l)
Which is strongly shifted to the right and has <em>neutral pH</em>.
Hence, you conclude that the approximate <em>pH of the solution is neutral.</em>
