Moderate
In which of the following case of mixing of a strong acid with strong base (each of 1N concentration), temperature increase will be the highest ?
Correct answer: A. 30 c.c acid and 30 c.c base
- A. 30 c.c acid and 30 c.c base
- B. 20 c.c acid and 25 c.c base
- C. 15 c.c acid and 35 c.c base
- D. 35 c.c acid and 15 c.c base
Explanation
For equal-normality acid and base, the heat released is proportional to the smaller reacting volume. The 30 cc plus 30 cc mixture neutralizes the greatest amount, and it also gives the largest temperature rise among the listed mixtures.
