<u>Answer:</u> The volume of NaOH solution required to reach the half-equivalence point is 0.09 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
The chemical equation for the dissociation of butanoic acid follows:
The expression of for above equation follows:
We are given:
Putting values in above expression, we get:
Neglecting the negative value because concentration cannot be negative
To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is butanoic acid
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of NaOH solution required to reach the half-equivalence point is 0.09 mL
