Answer:

50 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of titration , the following formula is used -

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

where ,

M₁ = concentration of acid ,

V₁ = volume of acid ,

M₂ = concentration of base,

V₂ = volume of base .

from , the question ,

M₁ = 0.50M

V₁ = 100 mL

M₂ = 1.0M

V₂ = ?

Using the above formula , the volume of base , can be calculated as ,

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

substituting the respective values ,

0.50M * 100 mL = 1.0M * V₂

V₂ = 50 mL
