0.8 Molar NaOH is added to 30 mL of HCI and the volume of base added vs. pH is graphed.

What molarity is the HCI solution?

1 answer

To find the molarity of the HCI solution, we need to use the equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

where:
M1 = molarity of NaOH
V1 = volume of NaOH (in L)
M2 = molarity of HCI solution
V2 = volume of HCI solution (in L)

From the problem, we know:
M1 = 0.8 M
V1 = 30 mL = 30/1000 L = 0.03 L
V2 = volume of HCI solution (unknown)

We need to rearrange the equation to solve for M2:

M2 = (M1V1) / V2

Plugging in the given values:

M2 = (0.8 M * 0.03 L) / V2

To determine the molarity of the HCI solution, we need more information or the values for the volume of base added (V2) and the corresponding pH values.
