A mixture of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids is prepared so that it contains 0.315 M HCl and 0.125 M H2SO4. What volume of 0.55 M NaOH would be required to completely neutralize all of the acid in 503.4 mL of this solution?

hints

involves a solution that has 2 different acids in it. One way to do this is to imagine that you are neutralizing 2 solutions, one of each acid, and then just add the amounts of base needed. Another way is to think about how many moles of H3O+ are present in the mixed acids, and then figure out how much of the basic solution is needed to react with that amount of H3O+.

The volume of NaOH required is 402.9 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

    .....(1)

Molarity of HCl solution = 0.315 M

Volume of solution = 503.4 mL = 0.5034 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.125 M

Volume of solution = 503.4 mL = 0.5034 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

As, all of the acid is neutralized, so moles of NaOH = [0.1586 + 0.0630] moles = 0.2216 moles

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.55 M

Moles of NaOH = 0.2216 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the volume of NaOH required is 402.9 mL

your answer would be a. 12.5 kg

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
