Q: A student titrates 0.0150 L of acetic acid with 20.0 mL of 0.300 M NaOH. What is the molarity of the acetic acid solution? (Assume 1:1 stoichiometry)

$$\mathrm{M = \frac{(0.0200\,L) \times 0.300\,mol/L}{0.0150\,L} = 0.400\,M}$$

Q: If 25.5 mL of 0.438 M NaOH is required to neutralize 0.0250 L of HCl, what is the molarity of the HCl solution?

$$\mathrm{M = \frac{(0.0255\,L) \times 0.438\,mol/L}{0.0250\,L} = 0.447\,M}$$
