Answer:
To find the molarity of the acid (HBr), we can use the equation:
�
acid
×
�
acid
=
�
base
×
�
base
M
acid
×V
acid
=M
base
×V
base
Where:
�
acid
M
acid
= molarity of the acid (HBr)
�
acid
V
acid
= volume of the acid used (in liters)
�
base
M
base
= molarity of the base (CsOH)
�
base
V
base
= volume of the base used (in liters)
Given:
�
base

0.20
M
M
base
=0.20M

�
acid
=
6.5
mL
=

=6.5mL=0.0065L
Substituting these values into the equation:
