The flask contains 10.0 mL of HCl and a few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. The buret contains 0.160 M NaOH . It requires 11.9 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the end point of the titration. A buret filled with a titrant is held above a graduated cylinder containing an analyte solution. What is the initial concentration of HCl

The initial concentration of HCl was 0.1904 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of HCl solution = 10.0 mL = 0.010 L

Volume of a NaOH solution = 11.9 mL = 0.0119 L

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.160 M

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of HCl

C1*V1 = C2*V2

⇒with C1 = the concentration HCl = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with V1 = the volume of HCl = 0.010 L

⇒with C2 = the concentration of NaOH = 0.160 M

⇒with V2 = the volume of NaOH = 0.0119 L

C1 * 0.010 L = 0.160 M * 0.0119 L

C1 = (0.160 M * 0.0119 L) / 0.010 L

C1 = 0.1904 M

The initial concentration of HCl was 0.1904 M
