a titration uses 0.20 M CsOH to neutralize 6.5 mL of HBr. If the buret, which has the base, started at 4.05 ml and ended at 12.45 ml then what is the molarity of the acid?

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:
