50.0 ml of 0.010m naoh was titrated with 0.50m hcl using a dropper pipet. if the average drop from the pipet has a volume of 0.040 ml, calculate how many drops of hcl are needed to reach the endpoint of the titration.

Sagot :

25 drops of acid is required to neutralize the 50.0 ml of 0.010m of NaOH in the experiment.

The equation of the reaction is;

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ---------> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

We can use the titration formula;

CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CA= concentration of acid

VA = volume of acid

CB = concentration of base

VB = volume of base

NA = number of moles of acid

NB = number of moles of base

CB = 0.010 M

VB = 50.0 ml

CA = 0.50 M

VA = ?

NA = 1

NB = 1

Substituting values;

CAVANB = CBVBNA

VA =  0.010 ×  50.0 × 1/ 0.50 × 1

VA = 1 ml

Since the total volume of acid used is 1 ml and each drop contains 0.040 ml

The number of drops required is 1ml/0.040 ml = 25 drops
