The volume of 0.02 M aqueous HBr required to neutralize 10.0 mL of 0.01 M aqueous is (Assume complete neutralization)
- (A)2.5 mL
- (B)5.0 mL
- (C)10.0 mL✓ Correct
- (D)7.5 mL
Answer: (C)
Solution
For neutralization, use the equivalence relation: , where normality -factor. For HBr (monoprotic acid), n-factor = 1, so N. For (diprotic base), n-factor = 2, so N. Applying the equation: , giving mL.
