1) If 9.71 ml of 0.252 M KOH is used to completely titrate 1
or 0.252 M KOH is used to completely titrate 15.0 mL of HCI, how many moles of HCl are in
the solution? Hint: Start by drawing the balanced chemical equation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.00244 moles of HCl present in the solution.

Explanation:

The balanced  reaction between KOH and HCl is as follows.

[tex]HCl(aq)+KOH(aq)\rightarrow KCl(aq)+H_{2}O[/tex]

The following formula we can use to identify the number of moles of solution.

[tex]\frac{M_{1}V_{1}}{n_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{n_{2}}[/tex]

Rewrite the formula is as follows:

[tex]M_{1}=\frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{n_{2}}\times \frac{n_{1}}{V_{1}}....................(1)[/tex]

From the given,

HCl:

[tex]M_{1} =?\\V_{1}\,=15\,ml\\n_{1}=1\,mol[/tex]

KOH:

[tex]M_{2} =0.252M\\V_{2}\,=9.71\,ml\\n_{2}=1\,mol[/tex]

Substitute the all values in equation (1)

[tex]M_{1}=\frac{(0.252\,M)(9.71\,ml)}{1\,mol}\times \frac{1\,mol}{15\,ml}=0.1631\,mol/L[/tex]

Therefore, moles of HCl = 0.1631 mol/L

Volume = 15 ml = 0.015 L

[tex]M=\frac{n}{V}\\n=M\times V\\=0.1631\times 0.015L =0.00244\,mol\,of\,HCl[/tex]
