Titration of a 25.00ml KOH (bade) solution required 200.00ml of 0.0050 M acetic acid. What is the molarity of the KOH solution?
1 answer:
<u>Answer: </u>
The molarity of KOH used is 0.04 M
<u>Explanation: </u>
Given base used is KOH and the acid used is Acetic Acid
According to titration;
M1V1 = M2V2
Where, M1 is the molarity of acid
V1 is the volume of acid
M2 is the molarity of base
V2 is the volume of base
Given,
Volume of KOH (base) – V2 = 25 mL
Volume of acetic acid (acid) used – V1 = 200 mL
Molarity of acetic acid M1 = 0.0050 M
Substituting the values;
0.0050 × 200 = M2 × 25
M2 = 0.04 M
The molarity of KOH used is 0.04 M

A chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and thus forms ions and the atoms in the molecule are attracted towards each other through electrostatic force of attraction are said be ionic bond. In short, the bond formed between the two oppositely charged ions.
In salt, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine is sodium chloride having molecular formula where sodium is a metal and chlorine is the non-metal. The formation of the compound takes place by transfer of an electron from sodium thus forming a cation of formula
to chlorine which gains electron and thus results in an anion formation having formula
. The force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions that helds them together and results in formation of
compound is electrostatic force of attraction.
Hence in salt, the nature of bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic.
