a student titrates a 25.00mL aliquot of HCl (concentration unknown) with 33.10mL of 0.1500M NaOH. What is the concentration of HCl?
molarity of NaOH = number of moles of NaOH / volume of solution in L
0.1500 M = number of moles of NaOH / 0.0331 L
number of moles of NaOH = 0.1500 *0.0331 = 0.004965 mole
Balanced equation is
NaOH + HCl -----> NaCl + H2O
from the balanced equation we can say that
1 mole of NaOH requires 1 mole of HCl so
0.004965 mole of NaOH will require 0.004965 mole of HCl
molarity of HCl = number of moles of HCl / volume of solution in L
molarity of HCl = 0.004965 / 0.025 L = 0.199 M
Therefore, the concentration of HCl = 0.199 M
