please help me what is the molarity of an HBr solution if 0.500 liters are titrated to an end point by 0.100 liters of a 2.00M KOH Solution?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[M _{1}V _{1}=M _{2}V _{2}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[M _{1}(.500)=2.00(.100)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.40L

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Why is it liters? liter is a measure of volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.100 Lliters

OpenStudy (mertsj):

When you solve for M, that is molarity. It would NOT be liters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know can you please explain me titration

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You use a titration to neutralize a solution. Typically you use some indicator that changes color when the pH changes to neutral such a phenothalein.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you I got some idea

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So the molarity of the HBr is .40 which means the solution contains .40 moles of HBr per liter of solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in my reference table I got titration formula M A V A= M B V B M A =molarity of H+ M B= molarity of OH- V A=volume of acid V b=volume of base

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yep. That's the same formula I posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am got confuse what is it and how to

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you understand now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i got little idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is those stands for how to put it in order to solve titration

OpenStudy (mertsj):

MA = concentration of the acid. In your problem, the acid is HBr and MA is what we are trying to find.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

VA is the volume of the acid. In your problem that is .500 liter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got more now

OpenStudy (mertsj):

MB is the concentration of the base. In your problem, the base is KOH and its concentration is 2.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is base

OpenStudy (mertsj):

VB is the volume of the base which is .100 liter in your problem

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A base has OH^- ions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ions can you explain

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you have something like sodium hydroxide...NaOH and dissolve it in water it dissolves and makes sodium ions and hydroxyl ions. The sodium ions have +1 charge and the hydroxyl ions have -1 charge. It is the hydroxyl ions that cause it to have the properties of a base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you i got it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much :D
