Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.34 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

[Sr(OH)₂] = ?

Volume of Sr(OH)₂ = 35.6 ml or 0.0356 l

[HBr] = 0.0445 M

Volume of HBr = 0.549 l

Balanced chemical reaction

2HBr + Sr(OH)₂ ⇒ SrBr₂ + 2H₂O

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of HBr

Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

moles = 0.0445 x 0.549

= 0.0244

2.- Calculate the moles of Sr(OH)₂ using the coefficients of the balanced reaction

2 moles of HBr ----------------------- 1 mol of Sr(OH)₂

0.0244 moles ----------------------- x

x = (0.0244 x 1) / 2

x = 0.0122 moles of Sr(OH)₂

3.- Calculate the concentration of Sr(OH)₂

Molarity = 0.0122/ 0.0356

-Simplification

Molarity = 0.34
