Question

. In a titration, a 25.0 mL sample of 0.150 M HCl is neutralized with 44.45 mL of Ba(OH)2. a. Write the balanced molecular equation for this reaction. __________________________________________________________ _________________ b. What is the molarity of the base solution

Answer 1

Equation of reaction:

a) 2HCl + Ba(OH)2 ==> CaCl2 + 2H2O

b) Molarity of base = 0.042 M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using titration equation

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

Where NA is the number of mole of acid = 2

NB is the number of mole of base = 1

CA is the molarity of acid =0.15M

CB is the molarity of base = to be calculated

VA is the volume of acid = 25 ml

VB is the volume of base = 44.45mL

Substituting

0.15×25/CB×44.45 = 2/1

Therefore CB =0.15×25×1/44.45×2

CB = 0.042 M.
