A 25 mL aliquot of an HCl solution is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached after 21.27 mL of the base were added. Calculate the concentration of the acid in the original solution, the pH of the original HCl solution and the original NaOH solution
first find out the no ofmoles of Base using molarity and volume
no ofmoles of NaOH = Molarity of NaOH and voleme of NaOH in liters
Molarity of NaOH = 0.1M,
volume of NaOH = 21.27mL convert in to liters = 0.02127L
no ofmoles of NaOH = 0.1M x 0.02127 L = 0.002127 moles
moles of NaOH = 0.002127 moles
write balanced equation
NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H2O
from this balanced equation it is clear that onemole of HCl required one mole of NaOH to reach equivelence point
0.002127 moles of NaOH required 0.002127 moles of HCl
now we have moles of HCl and volume of HCl we can find out the concentration
volume of HCl = 25mL convert in to liters = 0.025L
MOlarity of HCl = 0.002127 / 0.025L
= 0.085M
