Example Question #11 : Identifying Unknown Concentration

30mL of a solution of  of unknown concentration mixed with 19mL of   produced a solution with a pH of 7. What is the concentration of the  solution?

Possible Answers:

None of these

Correct answer:

Explanation:

For this question use the following formula: 

 is the number of acidic hydrogens on the acid,  is the molarity of the acid,  is the volume of the acid,  is the number of basic hydroxides on the base,  is the molarity of the base,  is the volume of the base

Rearrange the equation for the molarity of the base:

Plug in known values and solve.
