what is the hydronium ion concentration in a solution formed by combining 750mL of 0.10M NaOH with 250mL of 0.30 M HCl

Answer:

[tex][H^+]=1x10^{-7}M[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid has a 1:1 mole ratio between them:

[tex]NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O[/tex]

In order to compute the hydronium H⁺ concentration in the mixed volumes of the given solutions we first compute the moles of each reactant:

[tex]n_{NaOH}=0.750L*0.10mol/L=0.075mol\\\\n_{HCl}=0.250L*0.30mol/L=0.075mol[/tex]

As seen, since those amounts are the same, we infer all the acid and base are consumed so the pH is 7 because a neutral salt is produced, and the corresponding H⁺ concentration is:

[tex][H^+]=10^{-pH}=10^{-7}=1x10^{-7}M[/tex]

Best regards!
