Question:

Stomach acid, a dilute solution of $HCl$ in water, can be neutralized by reaction with sodium hydrogen carbonate, $ {NaHCO_3_{(aq)} +HCL_{(aq)} ->NaCL_{(aq)} +H_2O_{(l)} +CO_2_{(g)} }$ How many milliliters of 0.125 M NaHCO solution are needed to neutralize 18.0 mL of 0.100 M HCL?

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $M_{HCl} = 0.1\, M,\, V_{HCl} = 18.0\, mL$ $M_{NaHCO_3}=0.125\, M,\, V_{NaHCO_3}= ?$ On applying, $M_{HCl} \times V_{HCl}=M_{NaHCO_3}\times V_{NaHCO_3}$ $\Rightarrow 0.1 \times 18 =0.125 \times V_{NaHCO_3}$ $\Rightarrow M_{NaHCO_3} =14.4\, mL$ Thus, $14.4\, mL$ of the $1.25\, M\, NaHCO_3$ solution is needed to neutralise $18.0\, mL$ of the $0.100\, M\, HCl$ solution.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
