Need help with these two question's cant remember back to my chemistry days
1) Whats the concentration of a solution of NaOH 25cm3 of which requires 20cm3 of HCL 0.1 mol dm-3 to neutralise
2) Sodium carbonate Na2Co3 is used of concentration 0.1 mol dm-3 to neutralise HCL 25cm3 of Na2Co3 solution requires 35cm3 of the acid to neutralise. Calculate concentration of the acid.
could you plz kinda explain how to do them

2. For CO3¯, look up it's acid constant (or whatever, never did this in english :S) and do the calculations i've forgotten how to do :D
No chemistry for 2 years, don't shoot me if it's wrong..
in before shitstorm.
2)is there some Ka or pKa given ?
edit : you can use this formula K=([products1]^coeffstoec1*[products2]^coeffstoec2)/([reactant1]^coeffstoec1...) ect
and i can't see any solution if theres no K Ka or pKa given
edit2: it's really easy just convert the concentration in amount of mol n=C*V then n na2co3=n Hcl and CHcl is not known => neutralization of na2co3 by the acid
i just start a chemistry school this year
you really have to learn n= C*V and equivalence = neutralization otherwise you will just faillll
Requires thinking => sorry :(
