Calculate Concentration of HCl & HOAc for Titration | NaOH & HCl/HOAc Mixture

[Rissj3]

Hi, I'm in lab in which we have to titrate 0.09M NaOH into 25mL of 0.1M HCl/HOAc mixture.

Homework Statement

I need help on how to calculate the concentration of HCl and HOAc in the mixture.

0.09M NaOH
1st equivalence point = 14.3mL
2nd equivalence point = 26.9mL

Difference of two equivalence points, 14.3-26.9= 12.6mL

Homework Equations

I'm thinking to solve this problem I would have to use the dilution formula, M1V1=M2V2

The Attempt at a Solution

M (0.025L) = (0.09M)(0.0143L)
M = 0.05148M HCl

M (0.025L) = (0.09M)(0.0126L)
M = 0.04536M HOAc

Is this correct or am I completely off?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

To give a simplified explanation:
The weak acid will be picked at titrant addition to about pH of 4 to 4.5, and both the weak and strong acid will be neutralized at about pH 8 to 9. Your first equivalence point will give you moles of HOAc; your second equivalence point will give you moles of both HOAc and HCl combined. The difference will be for the moles of HCl alone.

Since when titration is identical to dilution?

Formula you listed happens to be identical to the one needed in SOME cases. The longer you will believe it works always, the worse for you.
