reddit mcat In a titration, 27.4 mL of a 0.0154 M solution of Ba(OH)2 is needed to neutralize 20.0 mL of HCl. What was the concentration of the acid solution

0.422 M

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction,

2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ BaCl₂(aq)+2H₂O(l)

From the recation above,

2 moles of HCl is needed to neutralize 1 mole of Ba(OH)₂.

Using,

C'V'/CV = a/b Equation 1

Where C' = concentration of acid, C = concentration of base, V' = volume of acid, V = volume of base, a = number of moles of acid, b = number of moles of base.

make C' the subject of the equation.

C' = aCV/bV' Equation 2

a = 2 mole, b = 1 mole, C = 0.0154 M, V = 27.4 mL, V' = 20 mL

Substitute into equation 2

C' = (2×0.0154×27.4)/(1×20)

C' = 0.422 M.

Hence the concentration of acid is 0.422 M

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
