Equal volumes of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions of same concentration are mixed and the pH of the resulting solution is checked with a pH paper. What would be the colour obtained? (You may use colour guide given in Figure 2.2)
(a) Red
(b) Yellow
(c) Yellowish green
(d) Blue
Answer: (c)
Because the resulting solution is obtained as a result of neutralisation reaction
Strong Acid + Strong Base = Neutralisation. (Ph - 7)
The colour of the neutral solution (with pH = 7) obtained is yellowish green.
