Question

a titration of 25.0mL of an x M hcl solution with 0.15M NaOH starts at a burette reading for NaOH of 0.20mL . Thr burette reading of the end point is 24.10mL. what is the volume of NaOH dispensed?

Answer 1

Burette is a very accurate measuring instrument when adding solutions and has a measurement error of 0.05 mL.
Small volumes of solutions can be transferred from the burette at a controllable rate.
In this instance NaOH is in the burette.
Initial reading of NaOH is 0.20 mL
end point is the point at which the chemical reaction reaches completion. In acid base reactions, end point is when all the H⁺ ions have reacted with OH⁻ ions.
final reading of NaOH is 24.10 mL
to find the volume of NaOH dispensed we have to find the difference between final reading and initial reading
volume of NaOH added = 24.10 mL - 0.20 mL = 23.90 mL
volume of NaOH dispensed is 23.90 mL
