To standardize a hydrochloric acid solution, it was used as a titrant with a solid sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. The solid sample had a mass of 0.3967g, and 41.77 mL of acid was required to reach the equivalence point. Calculate the concentration of the standard solution.

0.113 M

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

First we convert 0.3967 g of NaHCO₃ into moles, using its molar mass:

As 1 mol of NaHCO₃ reacts with 1 mol of HCl, in 41.77 mL of the HCl solution there were 4.72x10⁻³ moles of HCl.

With the calculated number of moles and the given volume we calculate the concentration of the solution:

the millers tale is the answer.
