The reaction of the titration of sodium hydroxide solution by hydrochloric acid is:
HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl.
As you see, 1 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of NaOH. Therefore, the number of the moles of NaOH at the equivalence point equals the number of the moles of HCl added:
.
The volume of base needed is its number of the moles divided by its concentration:
.
Using a similar expression for the number of the moles of hydrochloric acid, we finally get:
mL.
Answer: 16.9 mL of base was needed for the titration.
