Volumetric-QN09


The experiment was done by reacting 25ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid.
The product formed were sodium chloride and water.
The burette reading was 25ml.
Calculate the molarity of hydrochloric acid.


  • Soln:


    The balance chemical equation.
    NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)→ NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
    1 mole 1 mole 1 mole 1 mole

    Molarity of NaOH = 0.1 M
    Volume of NaOH = 25 ml
    Molarity of HCl = ?
    Volume of HCl = 25 ml
    Number of HCl = 1
    Number of HCl = 1

    MaVa / MbVb = na / nb
    MHCl = (MNaOH × VNaOH × nHCl) / VHCl × nNaOH

    = (0.1 M × 25ml × 1) / (25 ml × 1)
    = 0.1 M

    The molarity of hydrochloric acid was 0.1 M.
