25 mL of 0.25 mol/L HCl neutralises 40 mL of NaOH solution. What is the concentration of the NaOH?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 0.156 mol/L

  1. Step 1: The mole ratio HCl : NaOH is 1 : 1, so Ca Va = Cb Vb.
  2. Step 2: Cb = 0.25 x 25/40 = 0.156 mol/L.
Answer
0.156 mol/L.
Why not the others: 0.4 mol/L, 0.25 mol/L and 0.312 mol/L do not fit.
