Question

How would the calculated concentration of the hci be affected if the sodium hydroxide were poured from ma beaker that contained some water before the naoh were added to it

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the beaker that contained some water before NaOH were added means that the resulting solution in that beaker will be more dilute. When this diluted sodium hydroxide solution is added to HCl (not hci), the reaction below occurs

HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

The reaction above is a neutralization reaction. The concentration of the acid (HCl) will reduce when a base (sodium hydroxide) is added and will also reduce more because of the presence of more water (in the base) which normally reduces the concentration of ions present in an acid or a base to become more dilute.
