35.6 mL of an HBr solution were titrated with 18.2 mL of a 0.115 M NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is is the Molarity of the HBr solution

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.0588

Explanation:

HBr + NaOH ==> NaBr + H2O

(35.6 ml)(x M) = (18.2 ml)(0.115 M)

x = 0.0588 M

The Molarity of the HBr solution is 0.058 M

What is Molarity ?

Molarity of a given solution is defined as the total number of moles of solute per litre of solution.

HBr reacts with NaOH and forms NaBr and H₂O as the products.

The balanced equation is as follows :

NaOH + HBr --> NaBr + H₂O

Molarity (M) = moles of solute (mol) / volume of the solution (L)

Molarity of NaOH =  0.115 M

Volume of NaOH = 18.2 mL = 18.2 x 10⁻³ L

So, moles of NaOH = molarity x volume of the solution

= 0.115 M x 18.2 x 10⁻³ L

= 2.093 x 10⁻³ mol

From the equation,

we can see that the ratio between NaOH and HBr is 1 : 1.

Therefore,  

Moles of HBr in 35.6 mL = Moles of NaOH added  =  2.093 x 10⁻³ mol

Hence,

Molarity of HBr = 2.093 x 10⁻³ mol / 35.6 x 10⁻³ L = 0.058 M
