Question

An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is standardized by titration with a 0.170 M solution of perchloric acid. If 28.5 mL of base are required to neutralize 16.0 mL of the acid, what is the molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.095M

Explanation:

HClO4 + NaOH = NaClO4 + H2O

Concentration of acid CA= 0.170M

Concentration of base CB= ???

Volume of base VB= 28.5ml

Volume of acid VA= 16.0ml

Number of moles of acid nA= 1

Number of moles of base nB= 1

From

CAVA/CBVB= nA/nB

CB= CAVAnB/VBnA

CB= 0.170×16.0×1/28.5×1

CB= 0.095M
