Answer: Therefore, the volume of a 0.155 M potassium hydroxide solution is 56.0 ml
Explanation:
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.
According to the neutralization law,
[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]M_1[/tex] = molarity of [tex]HBr[/tex] solution = 0.338 M
[tex]V_1[/tex] = volume of [tex]HBr[/tex] solution = 25.7 ml
[tex]M_2[/tex] = molarity of [tex]KOH[/tex] solution = 0.155 M
[tex]V_2[/tex] = volume of [tex]KOH[/tex] solution = ?
[tex]n_1[/tex] = valency of [tex]HBr[/tex] = 1
[tex]n_2[/tex] = valency of [tex]KOH[/tex] = 1
[tex]1\times 0.338\times 25.7=1\times 0.155\times V_2[/tex]
[tex]V_2=56.0ml[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of a 0.155 M potassium hydroxide solution is 56.0 ml
