Can someone help me with this chem problem?
Write a single mathematical expression for calculating the molarity of an acid by titrating it with base.

It’s like this. Lets say you have an unknown number of girls (acid) in a room. You can send in an excess of guys (base). As soon as they couple up they exit the room to be collected (titration). Any guys w/o a girl stay in the room.
You know all the guys weigh 200 Lbs and all the girls weigh 100 lbs. You weigh all the couples together cause they can’t be separated due to the forces of bonding. divide by the couple weight (molecular weight) and this number is how many girls were there to start with.
I hope you don’t view this as an insult to your intelligence, that’s not how I meant it.
No. of moles = volume * molarity
When u titrate the no of moles of acid are equal to no of moles of base
We know the molarity and volume of the base, and the titration allows us to work out the volume of acid
So i think the expression would be molarity of acid = (molarity of base* volume of base) / volume of acid
I hope that helps!
Im sorry sweetie, i cant help you, i never really understood Chemistry….what i used to do though is go in the morning before class stated and ask the teacher personally for a bit of help to guide me better in taking an approach to solve the question.
Im sorry i couldnt help much, but i wish u the best luck!!
