Answer: The volume of NaOH required to reach the endpoint is 100 mL
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of NaOH, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
[tex]n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2[/tex]
where,
[tex]n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex]
[tex]n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2[/tex] are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:
[tex]n_1=1\\M_1=0.250M\\V_1=50.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.125M\\V_2=?mL[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]1\times 0.250\times 50.00=1\times 0.125\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.250\times 50.0}{1\times 0.125}=100mL[/tex]
Hence, the volume of NaOH required to reach the endpoint is 100 mL
