If 525 mL of 0.80 M HCl solution is neutralized with 315 mL of Sr(OH)2 solution what is the molarity of the Sr(OH)2? The molarity of Sr(OH)2 is 0.67 M Acids and Bases neutralize each other. Strontium hydroxide will neutralize Hydrochloric acid to produce a salt and water. The reaction will be Sr(OH)2 +2HCl ——> SrCl2 + 2H2O. Volume of Strontium Hydroxide is 315 mL Volume of Hydrochloric acid is 525 mL … Continue reading A titration problem
I posted this answer to http://www.socratic.org. Titration is a cost effective and an easy analytic method to deduce the exact concentration of a solution. Titration is easiest of all the analytic methods available to find out the exact concentration of a solution. It is quite simple as all we need is a burette, a pipette, and a suitable indicator, in case the end point is … Continue reading Why is titration used when standardizing a solution?
