A comic book villain is holding you at gun point and is making you drink a sample of acid he gives you a beaker with 100 ml of a strong acid with ph=5 he also gives you a beaker of a strong base with a ph=10 you can add as much of the strong base to the strong acid as you want, and you must then drink the solution. You'd be best off trying to make the solution neutral before drinking it. How much of the base should you add?
a. 1 ml
b. 10 ml
c. 100 ml
d. 1000 ml

We have to add 10 mL of base ( option B is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the strong acid = 100 mL = 0.100 L

pH = 5

pH of the strong base = 10

Step 2: Calculate molarity of the strong acid

pH =[H+] = 5

[H+]= 10^-5 M

Step 3: Calculate moles of the strong acid

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles = 10^-5 M * 0.100 L

Moles = 10^-6 moles

Step 4: Calculate pOH

pOH = 14 - 10 = 4

Step 5: Calculate [OH-]

[OH-] = 10^-4 M

Step 6: Calculate volume need

We need 10^-6 moles of base

Volume = moles / molarity

Volume = 10^-6 moles / 10^-4 M

Volume = 0.01 L

Volume = 10 mL

We have to add 10 mL of base ( option B is correct)

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
