Answer: 1.36 M
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.
![Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Molarity%3D%5Cfrac%7Bn%5Ctimes%201000%7D%7BV_s%7D)
where,
n = moles of solute
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
moles of solute= ![\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%20%7Bgiven%20mass%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%20%7Bmolar%20mass%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.06g%7D%7B171g%2Fmol%7D%3D0.0120moles)
![Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Molarity%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.0120%5Ctimes%201000%7D%7B32.9%7D%3D0.364M)
The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:
![2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2HCIO_4%2BBa%28OH_%292%5Crightarrow%20BaCIO_4%2B2H_2O)
To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
![n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n_1M_1V_1%3Dn_2M_2V_2)
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is ![HClO_4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=HClO_4)
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is ![Ba(OH)_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ba%28OH%29_2)
We are given:
![n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n_1%3D1%5C%5CM_1%3D%3F%5C%5CV_1%3D8.50mL%5C%5Cn_2%3D2%5C%5CM_2%3D0.364M%5C%5CV_2%3D15.9mL)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%5Ctimes%20M_1%5Ctimes%208.50%3D2%5Ctimes%200.364%5Ctimes%2015.9%5C%5C%5C%5CM_1%3D1.36M)
Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M
