Question

A lime juice sample takes the same volume of NaOH to neutralize compared to your apple juice sample, assuming the volume and dilution factor are the same. Do the two juice samples have the same molar concentration of their dominant acids?

Will someone please explain this to me?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

lime juice is more acid than apple juice.So neutralisation of NaOH required less valume compared to apple juice. two juice have same concentration.lime juice is strong acidic than apple juice. NaOH is strong base . Neutalisation of strong base strong acid is required. more juices contains acids but in lime juice contain citric acid . it is more soure to test. so it is used to neutralisation of strong base NaOH. Apple juice contains malic acid .It is weak acid.so it is not used to neutralisation of NaOH
