JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 20th July Morning Shift - No. 13)

250 mL of 0.5 M NaOH was added to 500 mL of 1 M HCl. The number of unreacted HCl molecules in the solution after complete reaction is ___________ $$\times$$ 1021. (Nearest integer)

(NA = 6.022 $$\times$$ 1023)
Answer
226

Explanation

We know that, number of moles = VL $$\times$$ molarity and number of millimoles = VmL $$\times$$ molarity

So, millimoles of NaOH = 250 $$\times$$ 0.5 = 125

Millimoles of HCl = 500 $$\times$$ 1 = 500

Now, reaction is

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 20th July Morning Shift Chemistry - Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry Question 126 English Explanation
125 millimoles of NaOH reacts with 125 millimoles of HCl. So, millimoles of HCl left = 375

Moles of HCl = 375 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3

Number of HCl molecules

= Avogadro's constant (NA) $$\times$$ moles of HCl

= 6.022 $$\times$$ 1023 $$\times$$ 375 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3

= 225.8 $$\times$$ 1021 = 226 $$\times$$ 1021

Therefore, answer is 226.
