a 25 ml volume of a sodium hydroxide solution requires 19.6 mL of a 0.189 M HCl acid for neutralization. A 10 mL volume of phosphoric acid solution requires 34.9 mL of the NaOH solution for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentration of the phosphoric acid solution.

Answer: 0.172 M

Explanation:

a) To calculate theconcentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is [tex]HCl[/tex]

[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

[tex]n_1=1\\M_1=0.189M\\V_1=19.6mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=?\\V_2=25mL[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]1\times 0.189\times 19.6=1\times M_2\times 25\\\\M_2=0.148[/tex]

b) To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is [tex]H_3PO_4[/tex]

[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

[tex]n_1=3\\M_1=?\\V_1=10mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.148\\V_2=34.9mL[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]3\times M_1\times 10=1\times 0.148\times 34.9\\\\M_1=0.172M[/tex]

The concentration of the phosphoric acid solution is 1.172 M
