If 23.6 mL of 0.200 M NaOH is required to neutralize 10.00 mL of a H3PO4 solution , what is the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution

The correct answer is 0.157 M.

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the mentioned reaction is, 3NaOH + H₃PO₄ ⇄ Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O The molarity of NaOH given is 0.2 M, the volume of NaOH given is 23.6 ml or 23.6 × 10⁻³ L. The moles of NaOH can be determined by using the formula, Moles of NaOH = Volume of NaOH × Molarity Moles of NaOH = 23.66 × 10⁻³ L × 0.2 M = 0.00472 moles Based on the reaction, 3 moles of NaOH needs 1 mole of H₃PO₄. So, 0.00472 moles of NaOH will require, 0.00472/3 = 0.0015733 moles.

The concentration or molarity of the H₃PO₄ will be, [H₃PO₄] = Moles of H3PO4/Volume of H₃PO₄ in liters (Volume of H₃PO₄ given is 10 ml of 10 × 10⁻³L) = 0.0015733 moles/ (10 × 10⁻³ L) = 0.157 M

oh it is true if thats what you are asking

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
