Ava Gadro is performing a titration in order to determine the amount of sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq), in 81 mL of an aqueous solution. If Ava used 27 mL of a 0.15 M HCl(aq) solution as her titrant to reach the equivalence point, what was the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the initial solution?

M = 0.050 M

Explanation:

WE have an acid base reaction between NaOH and HCl. The reaction is as follow:

HCl + NaOH > NaCl + H₂O

As we can see, we have a balanced equation already, and we can also see that the mole ratio between the HCl and NaOH is 1:1, therefore we can use the following expression:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂       1: acid;   2: base

This expression is used when the reactions has reached the equivalence point. As we want to know the concentration of the base, we just solve for M₂ above so:

M₂ = M₁V₁ / V₂

All we have to do now is replace the given values and solve for the concentration:

M₂ = 0.15 * 27 / 81

M₂ = 0.050 MThis is the concentration of the base

Answer it was we, the the whole people, who formed the union. and we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them: not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people- women as well as men.
