Goal: Find the concentration of acid “Unknown B” if 10mL of acid was neutralized completely with a base solution of sodium hydroxide that has a concentration of 0.2 mol/L.

 Givens:

Concentration Of Base NaOH = 0.20 mol/L Average Volume of Base NaOH = 7.88mL Volume of Acid “Unknown B” = 10.0 mL

 Calculating/Solving For The Concentration Of Acid “Unknown B”:

 Conclusion:

Therefore, the concentration of the unknown acid “Unknown B” is 1.5766 x 10mol/L.
