An aqueous solution of barium hydroxide is standardized by titration with a 0.110 M solution of hydrochloric acid. If 29.5 mL of base are required to neutralize 14.4 mL of the acid, what is the molarity of the barium hydroxide solution

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.02685 M is the molarity of the barium hydroxide solution.

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is [tex]HCl[/tex]

[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] mm.

We are given:

[tex]n_1=11\\M_1=0.110 M\\V_1=14.4 mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=29.5 mL[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1\times 0.11 M\times 14.4 mL=2\times M_2\times 29.5 mL[/tex]

[tex]M_2=\frac{1\times 0.11 M\times 14.4 mL}{2\times 29.5 mL}=0.02685 M[/tex]

0.02685 M is the molarity of the barium hydroxide solution.
