Question

Consider the following titration for these three questions:

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 1 mole of acid is equal to one equivalent.

b. 1.00 moles of HCl are found.

c. 1L of 2.00M NaOH is needed to reach the equivalence point

Explanation:

HCl reacts with NaOH as follows:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Where 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH. The reaction is 1:1

a. As the reaction is 1:1, 1 mole of acid is equal to one equivalent

b. The initial moles of HCl are:

1.00L * (2.00moles HCl / 1L) = 2.00 moles of HCl

At the halfway point, the moles of HCl are the half, that is:

1.00 moles of HCl are found

c. At equivalence point, we need to add the moles of NaOH needed for a complete reaction of the moles of HCl. As the moles of HCl are 2.00 and the reaction is 1:1, we need to add 2.00 moles of NaOH, that is:

2.00moles NaOH * (1L / 2.00mol) =

1L of 2.00M NaOH is needed to reach the equivalence point
