Question

How many mL of 0.013 M potassium hydroxide are required to reach the equivalence point in the titration of 75 mL 0.166 M hydrocyanic acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

957.7mL

Explanation:

Using the formula below;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Ca = concentration of acid (M)

Va = volume of acid (mL)

Cb = concentration of base (M)

Vb = volume of base (mL)

According to the information provided in this question:

Ca = 0.166 M

Cb = 0.013 M

Va = 75mL

Vb = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

0.166 × 75 = 0.013 × Vb

12.45 = 0.013Vb

Vb =12.45/0.013

Vb = 957.7mL
