What is the molarity of a solution of $\mathrm{HCl}$ if $10.00 \mathrm{~mL}$ is titrated with $40.2 \mathrm{~mL}$ of a $0.5 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}$ solution?
$$\mathrm{HCl}(a q)+\mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{NaCl}(a q)$$

Key Concepts

Reaction Stoichiometry

Reaction stoichiometry involves the calculation of the relative quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction based on the balanced chemical equation. It provides the mole-to-mole ratios between the reactants and products, which is essential for determining how much of one substance is needed to react completely with another, as seen in titration calculations.

Mole Concept

The mole concept is a fundamental principle in chemistry that defines the amount of substance based on Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02 x 10^23 particles per mole. This concept enables chemists to count entities like atoms or molecules using mass relationships and to convert between the mass, moles, and number of particles in a substance.

Molarity

Molarity is a measure of concentration that expresses the number of moles of solute contained in one liter of solution. It is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution in liters. This concept is fundamental in making quantitative comparisons in chemical reactions, especially in titrations where precise concentrations must be determined.

Titration

Titration is an analytical technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration (the titrant). By measuring the volume of titrant required to reach the endpoint of the reaction, one can calculate the unknown concentration using the stoichiometry of the reaction between the titrant and the analyte.
