If it requires milliliters of .045 molar barium hydroxide to neutralize 38.5 milliliters of nitric acid, solve for the molarity of the nitric acid solution. unbalanced equation: ba(oh)2+hno3-> ba(no3)2+h2o

1) It is missing the amount (mililiters) of the 0.045 molar barium hydroxide.

2) I will show you how to solve this using a generic value V, for this volumen. And, then I will calculate the requested molarity for some assumed values of V.

3) Start with stating the balanced chemical equation:

Ba(OH)₂ + 2HNO₃ → Ba(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O

4) State the mole ratio between the two reactants:

1 mol Ba(OH)₂ : 2 mol HNO₃

5) Set the equations for the number of moles of both solutions

M = n / V ⇒ n = M × V

⇒ number of moles of baryum hidroxide: 0.045V

number of moles of nitric acid: 0.0385 M

6) As per the theoretical mole ratio, the neutralization implies number of moles of barium hydroxide equals 2 times the number of moles of nitric acid:

⇒ 0.045V = 2×0.0385×M

And, solve for M: M = 0.045V / 0.077 = 0.5844V

That is the fomula that you can use: M = 0.5844V.

7) Here some examples, for different values of the volume V.

Volum in ml      V (in liters)       M = 0.5844V

10                      10/1000              0.0058

20                       20/1000              0.012

30                        30/1000             0.018

38.5                      38.5 / 1000        0.023

77                         77/1000             0.045

no but i do not usually comment or use my voice that much when it comes to social media

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
