A chemist needs a HCl solution with a molarity of less than 0.400 M for an experiment. To find out if a sample of HCl solution can be used in the lab, the chemist performs a titration to neutralize 59.2 mL of the HCl with 45 mL of 0.400 M NaOH. Based on the results, will the acid be useful for the chemist’s experiment?

A. No, because it is greater than 0.400 M.
B. No, because it is exactly 0.400 M, which will not work.
C. Yes, because it is less than 0.400 M.
D. Yes, because it is exactly 0.400 M, which will work.
