1/ 25.00 cm3 of 0.110 moldm-3 sodium hydroxide solution neutralized 23.30 cm3
of nitric acid.

i/ Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide.

Vol = 25.00 / 1000 = 0.0250 dm3

0.110 x 0.0250 = 0.00275 mol

ii/ Write the equation for the reaction.

NaOH + HNO3 -> NaNO3 + H2O

iii/ Calculate the number of moles of nitric acid

ratio 1:1

so 0.00250 mol

iv/ calculate the concentration of nitric acid used.

Volume = 23.30 / 1000 = 0.0233 dm3

Conc (mol dm3) = 0.00250 / 0.0233

= 0.107 moldm3

2/ 25.00 cm3 0f 0.125 moldm-3 potassium hydroxide reacted exactly with 26.60
cm3 of sulphuric acid. Write the equation and calculate the concentration of
sulphuric acid used.

Equation = KOH + H2SO4 -> K2SO4 + H2O

Vol = 26.60 / 1000 = 0.0266 dm3

Moles = 0.0266 x 0.125 = 0.003325 mol

Conc = 0.003325 / 0.0266 = 0.125 moldm3

3/ 25 cm3 of 0.50 moldm-3 HCl neutralized 35 cm3 of NaOH solution. Calculate
the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution used, in mol/dm -3.

Equation = HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O

Vol = 35 / 1000 = 0.035 dm3

Moles = 0.035 x 0.50 = 0.0175 mol

Conc = 0.0175 / 0.035 = 0.5 moldm3

4/ 40 cm3 of 0.25 moldm-3 potassium hydroxide was used to neutralize 22 cm3 of
nitric acid solution. Calculate the concentration of the nitric acid in moldm -3.

Equation =

Vol = 22 / 1000 = 0.022 dm3

Moles = 0.022 x 0.25 = 0.0055 mol

Conc = 0.0055 / 0.022 = 0.25 moldm3
