This is an acid-base neutralization reaction as well as a
titration problem.
The key to problems of this type is to
first write a balanced chemical equation showing the reactants and
products.
HBr + NH4OH --> NH4Br +
HOH
Note that in this reaction it takes one mole of HBr to
react with one mole of NH4OH producing one mole of NH4Br and one mole of water
(HOH)
The second key is to recognize that if you multiply
the volume times the molarity the product is the number of moles of that
material.
In short, mL * M of HBr = mL x M of
NH4OH
Use this equation, substitute in what you know and
solve for the missing variable.
You
know:
M of HBr = 2.0
M of
NH4OH = 0.1
mL of NH4OH =
380
Unknown is mL of
HBr
Solve:
2.0 * mL HBr = 0.1
* 380
mL HBr = 38/2 = 19 mL of HBr
