What is the molarity of a solution of HCl if 5.00 mL of the HCl solution is
titrated with 28.6 mL of a 0.145 M NaOH solution?

Round your answer to 3
decimal places.

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H 2 O

Answer:

The molarity of the HCl is 0.8924 M.

Explanation:

Use dimensional analysis to solve the problem.

28.6 mL x ([tex]\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}[/tex]) x ([tex]\frac{0.145 mole NaOH}{1 L}[/tex]) x ([tex]\frac{1 mole HCl}{1 mole NaOH}[/tex]) = 0.004147 moles HCl

Then we use M= moles/ liter  to find the molarity.

M = 0.004147 moles HCl / 0.005 L

M = 0.8294

0.829 mol/L is the molarity of a solution of HCl if 5.00 mL of the HCl solution is titrated with 28.6 mL of a 0.145 M NaOH solution.

What is Molarity ?

Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 L of solution. Molarity is also known as Molar Concentration. The S.I unit of Molarity is molar (M) or mol/L.

It is expressed as:

Molarity (M) = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of moles }}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}[/tex]

What is Stoichiometry ?

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measure the quantitative relationship and it is to calculate the amount of product and reactants that are given in a reaction.

According to Stoichiometry

[tex]28.6\ mL \times \frac{1\ L}{1000\ mL} \times \frac{0.145\ \text{mole NaOH}}{1\ L} \times \frac{1\ \text{mole HCl}}{1\ \text{mole NaOH}}[/tex]

= 0.004147 moles of HCl

Change ml into L

1 mL = 0.001 L

5.00 mL = 5.00 × 0.001

              = 0.005 L

Now put the value in above formula we get
Molarity (M) = [tex]\frac{\text{Number of moles }}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}[/tex]

                    = [tex]\frac{0.004147\ mol}{0.005\ L}[/tex]

                    = 0.829 mol/L

Thus from above conclusion we can say that 0.829 mol/L is the molarity of a solution of HCl if 5.00 mL of the HCl solution is titrated with 28.6 mL of a 0.145 M NaOH solution.
