RbOH is a strong base that dissociates completely and HCl is a strong acid that too dissociates completely. the complete reaction between the acid and base is;
RbOH + HCl ---> RbCl + H₂O
stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
At neutralisation point
H⁺ mol = OH⁻ mol
mol = molarity x volume
if Ma - molarity of acid and Va - volume of acid reacted
Mb - molarity of base and Vb - volume of base reacted
Ma x Va = Mb x Vb
0.5 M x 52.8 mL = Mb x 60.0 mL
Mb = 0.44 M
molarity of base - 0.44 M
