How many milliliters of 5.0 M NaOH are needed to exactly neutralize 40. milliliters of 2.0 M HCl?

16mL

Explanation:

Using the following formula;

CaVa = CbVb

Where;

Where

Ca = concentration/molarity of acid (M)

Va = volume of acid (mL)

Cb = concentration/molarity of base (M)

Vb = volume of base (mL)

According to the information provided in this question;

Ca (HCl) = 2M

Cb (NaOH) = 5M

Va (HCl) = 40mL

Vb (NaOH) = ?

Using CaVa = CbVb

Vb = CaVa/Cb

Vb = 2 × 40/5

Vb = 80/5

Vb = 16mL

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
