Answer:
O.1M
Explanation:
First let's generate a balanced equation for the reaction
NaOH + HCl —>NaCl + H2O
From the equation,
The ratio of the acid to base is 1:1.
From the question, we obtained the following:
Ma = Molarity of acid = 0.12M
Va = volume of acid = 21.35cm3
Vb = volume of base = 25.55cm3
Mb = Molarity of base =?
We obtained nA(mole of acid) and nB(mole of base) to be 1
The molarity of the base can be calculated for using:
MaVa/ MbVb = nA / nB
0.12x21.35 / Mb x 25.55 = 1
Cross multiply to express in linear form
Mb x 25.55 = 0.12x21.35
Divide both side by 25.55
Mb = (0.12x21.35) / 25.55
Mb = 0.1M
The molarity of the base is 0.1M
