Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) addition of \(5 \mathrm{ml}\) of \(1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(50 \mathrm{ml} 0.01 \mathrm{M} \equiv 50 \times 0.01=0.5\) millimole \(\quad 5 \mathrm{ml} 1(\mathrm{M}) \equiv 5 \times 1=5\) millimole \(\quad\) Total millimoles \(=5.5\) millimole Total volume \(=55 \mathrm{ml}\). Molarity…
