Question

can someone explain to me how to find the concentration of a liquid

Answer 1

i meant of an acid

Answer 2

It depends on what you know, and what measure of concentration (there are dozens).

Answer 3

if you know the mL of the acid and the molarity and mL <milliliters> of the base

Answer 4

it depends on what base, and what acid. YOu are dealing with concentraion in Normality. Read about that in your text.

Answer 5

please read the second oops i messed way up on my name bob

Answer 6

HNO3 is the acid nitric acid magnesium hydroxide is the bace MgOH-

Answer 7

do you want me to write the question

Answer 8

are you still there bob or are you thinking

Answer 9

Balance the equation. THis is a good first step in all reactions.

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2>>Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Now, if the acid is exaclty neutralized by half the moles of magnesium hydroxide.

So moles of acid used= concentration*volume=molarityacid*Va

Ma*Va=1/2 Mb*Vb and I assume you know the volumes of acid, and bas, and the molarity of the base.

Answer 10

does it make a difference if the base was titrated because i forgot to mention that

Answer 11

the acid is titrated against the base i might have said that wrong last time

Answer 12

thanks for your help if their isn't a difference i should be able to figure it out
