Question

35mL of acid with an unknown concentration is titrated to completion using 63mL of 3.0 MNaOH.

What is the concentration of the acid?

Answer 1

5.4 M.

Step-by-step explanation:

• At complete neutralization: It is known that the no. of millimoles of acid equal that of the base.

(MV)acid = (MV)NaOH

M of acid = ??? M, V of acid = 35.0 mL.

M of NaOH = 3.0 M, V of NaOH = 63.0 mL.

∴ M of acid = (MV)NaOH / (V)acid = (3.0 M)(63.0 mL)/(35.0 mL) = 5.4 M.
