Ca = 40
S= 32
O=16
so... 40+32+(16X4) = 136

The flask contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains 0.160 M NaOH. It requires 18.

Answer:

Approximately $0.291\; \rm M$ (rounded to two significant figures.)

Explanation:

The unit of concentration $\rm M$ is the same as $\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ (moles per liter.) On the other hand, the volume of both the $\rm NaOH$ solution and the original $\rm HCl$ solution here are in milliliters. Convert these two volumes to liters:

$V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 18.2\; \rm mL = 18.2 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0182\; \rm L$ .
$V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = 10.0\; \rm mL = 10.0\times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.0100\; \rm L$ .

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm NaOH$ in that $0.0182\; \rm L$ of $0.160\; \rm M$ solution:

$\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= c(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot V(\mathrm{NaOH})\\ &= 0.160\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.0182\; \rm L \approx 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\rm HCl$ reacts with $\rm NaOH$ at a one-to-one ratio:

$\rm HCl\; (aq) + NaOH\; (aq) \to NaCl\; (aq) + H_2O\; (l)$ .

Coefficient ratio:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} = 1$ .

In other words, one mole of $\rm NaOH$ would neutralize exactly one mole of $\rm HCl$ . In this titration, $0.291\; \rm mol$ of $\rm NaOH\!$ was required. Therefore, the same amount of $\rm HC$ should be present in the original solution:

$\begin{aligned}&n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})\\ &= n(\mathrm{NaOH})\cdot \frac{n(\mathrm{HCl})}{n(\mathrm{NaOH})} \\ &\approx 0.00291\; \rm mol \times 1 = 0.00291\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the concentration of the original $\rm HCl$ solution:

$\displaystyle c(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original}) = \frac{n(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})}{V(\text{$\mathrm{HCl}$, original})} \approx \frac{0.00291\; \rm mol}{0.0100\; \rm L} \approx 0.291\; \rm M$ .
