To calculate the concentration of the HCl solution using titration, the balanced chemical equation NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O is essential. The molarity (M) of NaOH is defined as moles per liter, and in this case, it is 0.1200 M. Using the volume of NaOH required for neutralization (21.35 mL), the number of moles of NaOH can be calculated. Since the molar ratio between NaOH and HCl is 1:1, the moles of HCl will equal the moles of NaOH. Finally, the concentration of the HCl solution can be determined by dividing the moles of HCl by its volume (25.00 mL).

A student obtains 25.00 mL of an HCl solution of unknown concentration. Upon titration, 21.35 mL of 0.1200 M NaOH are required for neutralization. Determine the concentration of the HCl solution.

the capital M is molar mass right? but i thught that was constant so how can it be 0.1200 M NaOH? :confused: or do they mean m for mols :confused:

so the first thing you need to do is write the equation

NaOH + HCL = NaCl + H2O

using the mol ration, the number of mols will be the same for every thing elce
soo... now what?

M stands for the concentration of the solution. It is equivalent to moldm^{-3} or mol/litre.
