Q10 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (06 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

The volume of 0.02 M aqueous HBr required to neutralize 10.0 mL of 0.01 M aqueous Ba(OH)2 is (Assume complete neutralization)

  • A
    2.5 mL
  • B
    5.0 mL
  • Correct answer
    C
    10.0 mL
  • D
    7.5 mL

Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between HBr and Ba(OH)2 is:

2HBr+Ba(OH)2 → BaBr2+2H2O

From this equation, we can see that 2 moles of HBr react with 1 mole of Ba(OH)2.

Equal equivalents will react. 

Number of equivalents = Normality ×Volume

So,

N1V1=N2V20.02×V1=0.02×10V1=10 ml

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
