when 12.5mL of 0.28M HNO3 and 5.0mL OF 0.46M Ba(OH)2 are mixed, is the resulting solution acidic, basic, or neutral?

1 answer

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 ==> 2H2O + Ba(NO3)2
moles HNO3 = M x L = ??
moles Ba(OH)2 = M x L = ??
Convert moles HNO3 and Ba(OH)2 to moles of the product and the SMALLER answer is the one to choose. The reactant left over is what determines the final pH.
