Chapter 14, Problem 52E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{0}\text{.125 M KOH}$ is to be calculated which is required to reach the equivalence point in the complete titration of $25.0\text{ mL}$ sample of $\text{0}\text{.25 M HBr}$.

Concept Introduction:

For complete neutralization of an acid or a base, an equivalent number of moles of acid and base reacts with each other.

Titration method is mostly used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution of an acid by reacting with base and vice-versa. The point of complete neutralization in a titration method is called as an equivalence point.

The molarity $\left(\text{M}\right)$ of a solution is:

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{mol solute}}{\text{L solution }}$
