How many milliliters of 0.50 M KOH are needed to exactly neutralize 10 milliliters of of 1.5 M

HNO3

A. 5.0 mL

B.12 mL

C. 25 mL

D. 30 mL

Option D. 30 mL.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid, nA = 1

The mole ratio of the base, nB = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Volume of base, KOH (Vb) =.?

Molarity of base, KOH (Mb) = 0.5M

Volume of acid, HNO3 (Va) = 10mL

Molarity of acid, HNO3 (Ma) = 1.5M

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the base, KOH needed for the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB

1.5 x 10 / 0.5 x Vb = 1

Cross multiply

0.5 x Vb = 1.5 x 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Vb = (1.5 x 10) /0.5

Vb = 30mL

Therefore, the volume of the base, KOH needed for the reaction is 30mL.
