How many mL of 0.125 M Ba(OH)2 would be required to completely neutralize 75.0 mL of 0.845 M HCl? What is the pH of the solution at the equivalence point?
Ba(OH)2 + 2HCl -------------> BaCl2 + 2H2O
1 mole 2 moles
Ba(OH)2 HCl
M1 = 0.125M M2 = 0.845M
V1 = V2 = 75ml
n1 = 1 n2 = 2
M1V1/n1 = M2V2/n2
V1 = M2V2n1/M1n2
= 0.845*75*1/0.125*2 = 253.5ml
normality of Ba(OH)2 = n* molarity
= 2*0.125 =0.25N
normality of HCl = n* molarity
= 1*0.845 = 0.845N
N = NBVB-NAVA/VA+VB
= 0.25*253.5- 0.845*75/253.5+75 =0
no of moles of Ba(OH)2 = no of moles of HCl
so it is neutral solution
PH = 7
