Problem

10mL of HCl is titrated with a 0.1M NaOH solution. The volume of NaOH added is 50mL.
Later, 0.1M HA2SOA4 solution was added. The volume of HA2SOA4 needed to neutralize the excess NaOH is 5mL.
What is the molarity of the HCl solution?
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 6
  • a simplified proper fraction, like 3/5
  • a simplified improper fraction, like 7/4
  • a mixed number, like 1 3/4
  • an exact decimal, like 0.75
  • a multiple of pi, like 12 pi or 2/3 pi
