50.00 mL of unknown calcium hydroxide solution is titrated with 0.250 M standard nitric acid solution. If 43.43 mL of the standard acid solution is required to reach a phenolphthalein endpoint, what is the molarity of the unknown calcium hydroxide solution

Respuesta :

Answer: Molarity of the unknown calcium hydroxide solution is 0.217 M.

Explanation:

Given: [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 50.00 mL,     [tex]M_{1}[/tex] = ?

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 43.43 mL,         [tex]M_{2}[/tex] = 0.250 M

Formula used is as follows.

[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\M_{1} \times 50.00 mL = 0.250 M \times 43.43 mL\\M_{1} = \frac{0.250 M \times 43.43 mL}{50.00 mL}\\= 0.217 M[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of the unknown calcium hydroxide solution is 0.217 M.
