Suppose you take a 35.00 mL sample of this acid solution. You then titrate it with a 0.1522 M sodium hydroxide solution. A volume of 39.25 mL of the sodium hydroxide was required to complete the titration. What is the concentration of this unknown hydrochloric acid solution? (shortest and easiest way please)
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ---------------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
1 mole 1 mole
HCl NaOH
M1 = M2 = 0.1522M
V1 = 35ml V2 = 39.25ml
n1 = 1 n2 = 1
M1V1/n1 = M2V2/n2
M1 = M2V2n1/V1n2
= 0.1522*39.25*1/35*1
= 0.171M
The concentration of unknown hydrochloric acid is 0.171M
