After mixing 5.00 mL of the 5.0×10–5 M crystal violet solution with 5.00 mL of 0.20 M NaOH, what is the concentration of crystal violet and hydroxide ions in the solution at the start of the reaction? Is it a reasonable assumption that the concentration of OH– is much greater than that of CV+? Why is this an important assumption? Explain.
