Question

Calculate the molarity of an hcl solution if a 10.00 ml sample requires 25.24 ml of a 1.600 m naoh solution to be neutralized.

Answer 1

Answer:

The molarity of the HCl solution should be 4.04 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of HCl solution = 10.00 mL = 0.01 L

volume of a 1.6 M NaOH solution = 25.24 mL = 0.02524 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCl + NaOH → NaCL + H2O

Step 3: Calculate molarity of HCl

n1*C1*V1 = n2*C2*V2

Since the mole ratio for HCl and NaOH is 1:1 we can just write:

C1*V1 =C2*V2

⇒ with C1 : the molarity of HCl = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with V1 = the volume og HCl = 10 mL = 0.01 L

⇒ with C2 = The molarity of NaOH = 1.6 M

⇒ with V2 = volume of NaOH = 25.24 mL = 0.02524 L

C1 * 0.01 = 1.6 * 0.02524

C1 = (1.6*0.02524)/0.01

C1 = 4.04M

The molarity of the HCl solution should be 4.04 M
