Question

As part of an experiment, a student adds 10 mL of 5% hydrochloric acid solution to 100 mL of a non-buffered, colorless solution of sugar. What is the most likely result?
a)
The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) will increase.
c)
The pH will not change.
b)
The pH will increase.
d)
The concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) will increase.

Answer 1

Hello

The answer is option A

Answer 2

Sugar solution is neutral. Adding acid to a neutral solution will increase the H+ ion concentration and lower its pH.

The answer is a)  The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) will increase.
