What is the concentration of H+ or OH- in excess after the reaction of 28 ml HNO3 , concentration 0.250 + 53 ml KOH 0.320 concentration?

We'l write the chemical reaction
first:


KOH + HNO3 -> KNO3 +
H2O


To calculate the concentration of the excess ions we'll
apply the following formula:


Concentration of excess of
ions = excess moles/total volume of solution


We'll
determine the total volume of solution:


Total volume = 28
mL + 53mL = 81mL = 0.081L


We'll determine the initial moles
of H+;


Initial moles of H+ = volume * concentration of HNO3
= 0.028*0.250


Initial moles of H+ = 0.007
mol


Initial moles of OH- = volume * concentration of KOH =
0.053*0.320


Initial moles of OH- = 0.01696
mol


We'll calculate the excess moles of OH = (Initial moles
of OH-) - (Initial moles of H+)


excess moles of OH =
0.01696 - 0.007 = 0.00996 mol


Concentration of excess of
OH- = excess moles OH-/total volume of
solution


Concentration of excess of OH- = 0.00996
mol/0.081L = 0.123


The concentration of the
excess of OH- ions is of 0.123.

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
