Determine the volume at the equivalence point if a 0.100 M NaOH(aq) solution is used to titrate the following acidic solutions: (a) 30.0 mL of 0.600 M HClO4(aq) (b) 50.0 mL of 0.400 M HI(aq)

Respuesta :

Answer:

For a: The volume of NaOH used in the titration is 180 mL

For b: The volume of NaOH used in the titration is 200 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of base, 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

[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base

  • For a:

We are given:

[tex]n_1=1\\M_1=0.600M\\V_1=30.00mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.100M\\V_2=?mL[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1\times 0.600\times 30.00=1\times 0.100\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.600\times 30}{1\times 0.100}=180mL[/tex]

Hence, the volume of NaOH used in the titration is 180 mL

  • For b:

We are given:

[tex]n_1=1\\M_1=0.400M\\V_1=50.00mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.100M\\V_2=?mL[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1\times 0.400\times 50.00=1\times 0.100\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.400\times 50}{1\times 0.100}=200mL[/tex]

Hence, the volume of NaOH used in the titration is 200 mL
