Knowing that: NaOH + HCl → NaCl + HB2BO How many moles of HCl are required to react with 1 mole of NaOH? How many were required to react with the number of moles added in the titration?

Question

Knowing that:

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + HB2BO

How many moles of HCl are required to react with 1 mole of NaOH? How many were required to react with the number of moles added in the titration?

Answer 1

First, for the record there's an a error in the equation as it appears here- the second product should be H₂O, not HB₂BO. (Maybe the B's are how your instructor indicates the subscript?)

Other than that, this is a very easy question. The equation is already balanced, The NaOH contributes one mole of sodium (Na) to the NaCl (sodium chloride), and one mole each of Oxygen and Hydrogen (from the OH group) to the H₂O. The HCl (hydrochloric acid) contributes one mole of chlorine to the NaCl and a mole of Hydrogen to the H₂O.

So the same amount of HCl as NaOH (one mole) is required.
