Question

For each of the scenarios, determine if the ionic strength of the solution would increase, decrease, or not change. Ignore any effects caused by the change in volume.

If a solution of HNO3 were added to a solution of KOH, the ionic strength of the KOH solution would _______.

A. Increase
B. Decrease
C. Not change

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C:- Not Change is the correct answer for this question.

Explanation:

Here, the reason for the above answer is explained:-

Potential Ones:- KNO3 and H20 are totally soluble.  

Thus the ion concentration remains same and therefore it would not shift in

• Option A:- It would not increase because they both have same concentration that is why this option is incorrect
• Option B:- It would not decrease also because of the same concentration and that is why this option is also incorrect

This is the reason that the "option c "is correct that is it would not change because they both are completely soluble and have the same concentration.
