What is the molarity of the solution of Sodium hydroxide, if 35 ml of 0.1 M HCl is used in the titration of 25 ml of the barium hydroxide solution

Respuesta :

Answer: The molarity of [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] is 0.07 M

Explanation:

According to the neutralization law,

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1[/tex] = basicity [tex]HCl[/tex] = 1

[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = 0.1 M

[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of  [tex]HCl[/tex] solution = 35 ml

[tex]n_2[/tex] = acidity of [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] = 2

[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] solution = ?

[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of  [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] solution = 25 ml

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]1\times 0.1\times 35=2\times M_2\times 25[/tex]

[tex]M_2=0.07[/tex]

Therefore, molarity of [tex]Ba(OH)_2[/tex] is 0.07 M
