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
<em>Where 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of NaOH. The reaction is 1:1</em>
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
