The balanced equation for the reaction is
HCl + NaOH = H2O + NaCl
So for every mole of NaOH used, one mole of HCl is neutralized. So let's determine how many moles of NaOH we used. That will simply be the volume (in liters) of solution multiplied by the molarity. So
0.0493 L * 0.151 mol/L = 0.0074443 mol
Because of that 1:1 ratio, we now know that 0.0074443 moles of HCl was in the sample. Since molarity is moles per liter, a little division will give us the molarity of the HCl solution. So
0.0074443 mol / 0.025 L = 0.297772 mol/M = 0.297772 M
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.298 M.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The question is based on the concept of the cleavage of bonds. In the process of the reaction the breaking of bonds is required. The cleavage of the bonds make the bonded electrons free to involve in the reaction process.
Fundamentals:
The cleavage of the bond can be done in two ways: homolytic or heterolytic. The heterolytic cleavage occurs when the shared electrons of the covalent bond are taken away by either of the atom. The heterolytic cleavage results in generation of the charged molecules. On the other hand, the homolytic cleavage is the cleavage in which the shared pair of the electrons are equally distributed, resulting in generation of free radicals.
The electron is the has the negative charge, the protón positive and neutron neutral.
