Answer:
Molarity of Sr(OH)₂ = 0.47 M
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of Sr(OH)₂ = 15.0 mL
Volume of HCl = 38.5 mL (0.0385 L)
Molarity of HCl = 0.350 M
Concentration/Molarity of Sr(OH)₂ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Sr(OH)₂ + 2HCl → SrCl₂ +2H₂O
Number of moles of HCl:
Molarity = number of moles/ volume in L
0.350 M = number of moles/0.0385 L
Number of moles = 0.350 mol/L× 0.0385 L
Number of moles = 0.0135 mol
Now we will compare the moles of HCl with Sr(OH)₂.
HCl : Sr(OH)₂
2 : 1
0.0135 : 1/2×0.0135 = 0.007 mol
Molarity/concentration of Sr(OH)₂:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in L
Molarity = 0.007 mol /0.015 L
Molarity = 0.47 M
