You are given a 250 ml sample of HCI and asked to find out what its concentration is. You have a 0 118 M Ca(OH)2 solution and it takes 13.7 ml to neutralize the acid sample. What is the concentration of the HCI? Show explanation Please help this is urgent

The concentration of the acid, HCl is 0.013 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2HCl + Ca(OH)₂ —> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 2

The mole ratio of base, Ca(OH)₂ (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the HCl. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) = 250 mL

Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (M₆) = 0.118 M

Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (V₆) = 13.7 mL

Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

Mₐ × 250 / 0.118 × 13.7 = 2/1

Mₐ × 250 / 1.6166 = 2

Cross multiply

Mₐ × 250 = 1.6166 × 2

Mₐ × 250 = 3.2332

Divide both side by side 250

Mₐ = 3.2332 / 250

Mₐ = 0.013 M

Thus, the concentration of the acid, HCl is 0.013 M
