Answer:
2.387 mol/L
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
First we <u>calculate how many moles of each reagent were added</u>:
- HCl ⇒ 200.0 mL * 3.85 M = 203.85 mmol HCl
- Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 100.0 mL * 4.6 M = 460 mmol Ba(OH)₂
460 mmol of Ba(OH)₂ would react completely with (2*460) 920 mmol of HCl. There are not as many mmoles of HCl so Ba(OH)₂ will remain in excess.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of Ba(OH)₂ reacted</u>, by c<em>onverting the total number of HCl moles to Ba(OH)₂ moles</em>:
- 203.85 mmol HCl *
= 101.925 mmol Ba(OH)₂
This means the remaining Ba(OH)₂ is:
- 460 mmol - 101.925 mmol = 358.075 mmoles Ba(OH)₂
There are two OH⁻ moles per Ba(OH)₂ mol:
- OH⁻ moles = 2 * 358.075 = 716.15 mmol OH⁻
Finally we <u>divide the number of OH⁻ moles by the </u><u><em>total</em></u><u> volume</u> (100 mL + 200 mL):
- 716.15 mmol OH⁻ / 300.0 mL = 2.387 M
So the answer is 2.387 mol/L
