an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid is standardized by titration with a 0.162 m solution of barium hydroxide. if 29.3 ml of base are required to neutralize 25.9 ml of the acid, what is the molarity of the hydrobromic acid solution? m hydrobromic acid



Answer :

The molarity of hydrobromic acid is 0.2909 M and molarity of barium hydroxide is 0.1517 M.

The balanced chemical reaction of hydrobromic acid(HBr) and barium hydroxide(Ba(OH)2) is :2HBr(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq)     BaBr2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

So for every 2 moles of hydrobromic acid (acid) 1 mole of barium hydroxide(base) is used for neutralisation.

It is given that 22.0ml of 0.162M solution of barium hydroxide is used for complete neutralisation So no of millimoles of base used =22*0.162=3.564

Number of millimoles of acid required=2*3.564=7.128

Let x be the molarity of acid.then x multiplied by volume(in ml) would give the number of millimoles as molarity=moles/volume7.128=x*24.5x=0.2909

So molarity of hydrobromic acid is 0.2909 M

The balanced chemical reaction of hydroiodic acid (HCl) and barium hydroxide(Ba(OH)2) is :2HI (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq)    Bal2(aq) +2H2O(l)

So for every 2 moles of hydroiodic acid (acid) 1 mole of barium hydroxide(base) is used for neutralisation.

It is given that 18.8 ml of 0.197M solution of hydroiodic acid is used for complete neutralisation

So no of millimoles of acid used = 18.8*0.197=3.7036Number of millimoles of base required=3.7036/2=1.8518

Let x be the molarity of base.then x multiplied by volume(in ml) would give the number of millimoles as molarity=moles/volume1.8518=x*12.2x=0.1517So molarity of barium hydroxide is 0.1517 M

Therefore, molarity of hydrobromic acid is 0.2909 M and molarity of barium hydroxide is 0.1517 M.
