Question

In a particular titration experiment a 30.0 ml sample of an unknown hcl solution required 25.0 ml of 0.200 m naoh for the end point to be reached. what is the concentration of hcl solution? hcl + naoh --> nacl + h2o

Answer 1

the balanced equation for the acid base reaction is as follows
NaOH + HCl ---> NaCl + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to HCl is 1:1
the number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.200 mol/L x 0.0250 L = 0.005 mol
according to molar ratio
number of NaOH moles reacted = number of HCl moles reacted 
therefore number of HCl moles - 0.005 mol 
volume of 30.0  mL contains 0.005 mol
therefore 1000 mL contains - 0.005 mol / 0.030 L = 0.167 M
concentration of HCl is 0.167 M
