Answer:
The total volume of the solution at the end point of the titration is 17.0 mL
Explanation:
First we will write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between HCl and NaOH.
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
This means 1 mole of HCl will react with 1 mole of NaOH to give 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O
From the question,
Concentration of acid (HCl), = ??
Volume of acid (HCl), = 5.0 mL
Concentration pf base (NaOH), = 0.010 M
Volume of base (NaOH), = 12.0 mL
To determine the Concentration of acid,
From,
Where is the mole ratio of acid
and is the mole ratio of base.
The concentration of the acid used can be determined from the above formula.
But, we are asked to find the total volume of the solution at the end point of the titration
The total volume of the solution will be the sum of the volume of HCl that reacted and volume of NaOH that reacted.
Hence, The total volume of the solution =
= 5.0 mL + 12.0 mL
= 17.0 mL
Hence, the total volume of the solution at the end point of the titration is 17.0 mL
