Example Question #111 : Gre Subject Test: Chemistry
If
of is reacted with of , what is the pH if the total volume of the solution is 1 liter ?
Based on the chemical equation,
and react in a 1:1 mole ratio. Therefore, in order to find the pH of this solution you must first determine the difference in moles of the two reactants and the limiting reactant. The reactant in excess will determine the pH of the solution.There
is in excess and the pH of the solution will be based on the moles of the excess .
