a scientist places a pH meter in a sample of concentrated potassium hydroxide (KOH). The scientist slowly adds nitric acid (HNO3) to the KOH and monitors the pH. Describe how the pH and hydroponic ion concentration will change in the solution as the acid is added???

Initially the solution is basic as we have KOH only. So ph>7. Now when we add HNO3 which is a strong acid, neutralization occurs. This results in reduction in pH to 7 to give you a neutral solution. Ph=7 will be the final reading when concentration of HN03 =concentration KOH.
