Question

Concentration of 10.00 mL of HBr if it takes 5 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to neutralize it?

Answer 1

In a titration, for an acid to neutralize a base, at the equivalence point, there should be an equal number of moles of H+ and OH-.

Moles of OH- can be found by multiplying the concentration of the base by the volume. (You will need to keep in mind the stoichimetric coefficients if the strong base is Ca(OH)₂, Ba(OH)₂, or Sr(OH)₂.

Moles of OH- = moles of H+
(0.253 M) * 0.005 L = 0.01000 L * c
c = 0.1265 M

The concentration of HBr is 0.127 M.
