How many gram-equivalents of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) are required to neutralise \(25 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of a decinormal \(\mathrm{HCl}\) solution?

  1. A \(0.00125\)
  2. B \(0.0025\)
  3. C \(0.0050\)
  4. D \(0.025\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.0025\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For acid-base reactions, g-equivalent of acid \(=\) g-equivalent of base
\((\mathrm{HCl}) (\mathrm{NaOH})\)
\(\therefore \text {g-equivalent of acid }=\) \(\left(25 \times 10^{-3}\right) \mathrm{dm}^{3} \times \frac{1}{10}\)
\(= 25 \times 10^{-4}\)
\(\text {or } =0.0025\)
\(=\mathrm{g}\) -equivalent of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
