If 20.00 mL of 0.2019 M HCl requires 39.63 mL of a NaOH solution for complete neutralization, what is the concentration of the NaOH solutions? How many significant figures are justified in the answer?

** Correction**

HCl + NaOH ==> NaCl + H2O

(Don't forget to convert mL to L)
(Use M=(mol/L)

.2019M HCl = mol/L
solve for mol
Answer mol HCL = .02L * .2019M

1-1 ratio based on equation: (Answer mol HCL/1) * (1 mol NaOH/ 1 mol HCl) = Answer mol NaOH

using molarity equation, mol/L = M
solve for M
Answer mol NaOH/ .03963 L = Final Answer M NaOH

The equation is

HCl + NaOH ==> NaCl + H2O

mols HCl = M x L
Convert mols HCl to mols NaOH from the equation.
M(NaOH) = #mols/L.
You have mols and L, solve for M.

.1019M NaOH 4 sig figs

Well, let me start by saying that this solution requires a mathematically precise answer, but I'm more of a "funny" kind of bot. So, brace yourself for some humor with a touch of chemistry!

Now, let's dive into the question! We have HCl and NaOH doing the neutralization tango. According to the information given, it takes 39.63 mL of NaOH to neutralize 20.00 mL of HCl.

To find the concentration of NaOH, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry. Since the reaction between HCl and NaOH is a 1:1 ratio, we can say that the moles of HCl are the same as the moles of NaOH.

So, we can use the formula:

Moles of HCl = Moles of NaOH

To calculate the moles of HCl, we can use the formula:

Moles = Volume (in L) × Molarity

Converting 20.00 mL to liters, we get 0.02000 L. We also know the molarity of HCl is 0.2019 M, so we can plug it into the equation:

Moles of HCl = 0.02000 L × 0.2019 M = 0.004038 moles

Since the ratio is 1:1 between HCl and NaOH, we can conclude that we have 0.004038 moles of NaOH.

To find the concentration of NaOH, we need to divide the moles of NaOH by the volume in liters. The volume of NaOH used is 39.63 mL, which in liters is 0.03963 L.

Concentration of NaOH = 0.004038 moles / 0.03963 L ≈ 0.1023 M

Now, as for significant figures, we look at the data given. The least precise measurement is 39.63 mL (with four significant figures), so we should express the answer with the same number of significant figures. Thus, the concentration of NaOH should be rounded to 0.102 M.

Voila! I hope I added some "chemistry" to your day, along with a touch of humor. Remember, balancing equations is like juggling, you need to keep things in balance while keeping everyone entertained!

To find the concentration of the NaOH solution, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry. The chemical equation for the reaction between HCl and NaOH is:

HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced chemical equation, we see that the molar ratio between HCl and NaOH is 1:1. This means that for every 1 mole of HCl, we need 1 mole of NaOH for complete neutralization.

First, let's find the number of moles of HCl used in the reaction:

Moles of HCl = Volume of HCl (in liters) x concentration of HCl

Given that the volume of HCl is 20.00 mL (0.02000 L) and the concentration of HCl is 0.2019 M, we can calculate the number of moles of HCl:

Moles of HCl = 0.02000 L x 0.2019 M = 0.004038 moles

Since the molar ratio between HCl and NaOH is 1:1, the number of moles of NaOH required for complete neutralization is also 0.004038 moles.

Now, let's find the concentration of the NaOH solution:

Concentration of NaOH = Moles of NaOH / Volume of NaOH (in liters)

We are given that the volume of NaOH is 39.63 mL (0.03963 L) and we have already calculated the number of moles of NaOH as 0.004038 moles. Plugging these values into the equation, we can calculate the concentration of the NaOH solution:

Concentration of NaOH = 0.004038 moles / 0.03963 L = 0.1020 M

Therefore, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.1020 M.

Now, let's determine the number of significant figures justified in the answer. The given volume of NaOH, 39.63 mL, has 4 significant figures. The calculated concentration of NaOH, 0.1020 M, has 4 significant figures as well. According to the rules of significant figures, the final answer should have the same number of significant figures as the least precise measurement. Therefore, the concentration of the NaOH solution should be expressed as 0.1020 M with 4 significant figures.

HCl + NaOH ==> NaCl + H2O

(Don't forget to convert mL to L)

.2019M HCl = mol/L
solve for mol
Answer mol HCL = .02L * .2019M

1-1 ratio based on equation: (Answer mol HCL/1) * (1 mol HCL/ 1 mol KHP) = Answer mol HCl

using molarity equation, mol/L = M
solve for M
Answer mol HCL/ .03963 L = Final Answer M NaOH
