The flask here contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains .270 M NaOH.

What volume of NaOH is needed to reach the end point of titration?

What was the initial concentration of HCl?

Can't do it. You need M HCl.

Assume that the start point is 0.0mL

Nope.

MHCl x mLHCl = MNaOH x mLNaOH.
You have MNaOH.
You have mL HCl.
You don't have M HCl
You don't have mL NaOH.
That's two unknowns. Can't do it.
I suspect from the wording that this refers to some other problem which would allow one of those other unknowns (like M HCl) to be calculated.

To find the volume of NaOH needed to reach the end point of titration, you should perform a neutralization reaction between HCl and NaOH and determine the volume of NaOH required to completely react with HCl.

Here's how you can calculate it:

1. Start by recording the initial and final buret readings. Let's say the initial buret reading is V1 (in mL) and the final buret reading is V2 (in mL).

2. Calculate the volume of NaOH used in the titration by subtracting V1 from V2: Volume of NaOH used = V2 - V1.

3. Since the concentration of NaOH is given as 0.270 M (0.270 moles per liter), you need to convert the volume of NaOH used to liters by dividing it by 1000 (since there are 1000 mL in a liter).

4. Finally, multiply the volume of NaOH used in liters by the concentration of NaOH to find the number of moles of NaOH used: Moles of NaOH = Volume of NaOH used (in L) × Concentration of NaOH (in M).

Now, as for the initial concentration of HCl, it is not provided in the given information. You would need the initial concentration of HCl or additional information to determine it.

Please note that it is always essential to wear proper safety equipment and follow appropriate lab procedures while conducting any experiment.
