Oh yeah, ok.



So initial

Final

So you need 0.1 M to neutralise and 0.1 M to make the pH right.

?? ..
At the risk of sounding stupid: 
You are adding 1 mole of acid to a larger volume of water (after neutralisation). It would dilute the acid, increasing the pH. Don't you need to account for this?

well its nice, not immediately obvious.

I apologize for not overwhelming you with quantum entanglement or the fundamental theory of algebra  :smitten:

*you do* but this is VCE chemsitry. (refer to 2007 exam 1 MC Q 16)

If we had to account for dilution it would result in an "unsolvable" DE (using Spec methods). Just like the 'changing volume' mixing problems from Spec.

But still solvable outside the world of VCE maths.

Yeah we did one in MUEP...

Derrick Ha said that they were unsolvable *even* using uni methods.  :idiot2:

*you do* but this is VCE chemsitry. (refer to 2007 exam 1 MC Q 16)

That question is different. The volume remains constant (as you are adding HCl gas).

How about this:

What volume of 1M HNO3 would be required to bring 1L of NaOH at pH=13 to pH=1? (answer: 2/9 L)

If it's right, I'll show my working.

Explain why electrolysing a dilute solution of sodium chloride is more efficient in producing hydrogen than just electrolysing pure water.
