Chapter 4, Problem 4.79P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concentration of $\text{HCl}$ and $\text{NaOH}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Concentration of strong base or strong acid is the amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent. Solute is the component that is present in less quantity in the solution whereas solvent is present in large amount.

Concentration of solution is expressed in terms of molarity. It is the ratio of moles of solute to the volume of solution in litres. The expression used to determine the concentration of solution is as follows:

  $\text{Concentration of solution}=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution}\left(\text{L}\right)}$
