Question

100 mL of 1 N $H_{2}S{O}_4$ is mixed with 100 mL of a 1 M NaOH solution. The resulting solution will be:

• A. Highly acidic
• B. Neutral
• C. Highly basic
• D. Slightly acidic

Answer 1

The correct option is B Neutral

Reaction: $H_{2}S{O}_4+2NaOH\rightleftharpoons N{a}_{2}S{O}_4+2H_{2}O$
Milliequivalents of $H_{2}S{O}_4=100\times 1=100$
Milliequivalents of $NaOH=100\times 1\times 1=100$
100 milliequivalents of the acid will be neutralized by 100 milliequivalents of the base.
Hence, the resultant solution will be neutral
