Question

50 mL of 1 N $HCl$ is mixed with 50 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: $HCl+NaOH\rightleftharpoons NaCl+H_{2}O$
Milliequivalents of $HCl=50\times 1=50$
Milliequivalents of $NaOH=50\times 1\times 1=50$
50 milliequivalents of the acid will be neutralized by 50 milliequivalents of the base.
Hence, the resultant solution will be neutral
