Chapter 5, Problem 51E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{KOH}$ in mL should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Molarity is equal to the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in L.

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume in L

For neutralization of a base by an acid or vice versa,

${\text{V}}_{\text{acid}}\times {\text{M}}_{\text{acid}}{\text{=V}}_{\text{base}}\times {\text{M}}_{\text{base}}$

${\text{V}}_{\text{acid}}{\text{ and V}}_{\text{base}}$ = volume of acid and base respectively.

${\text{M}}_{\text{acid}}{\text{ and M}}_{\text{base}}$ =Molarity of acid and base respectively.
