CaVa=CbVb
Ca=0.10mol/dm3
Va=40cm3
Cb=0.25mol/dm3
Vb=?
Vb=CaVa/Cb
=0.10*40/0.25=16

molarity = conc. × volume
For the acid,
Convert 40 cm³ to dm 40 × (0.1dm)³ = 40 × 10-³dm³
Molarity = 0.10moldm-³ × 40 × 10-³dm³
= 4 × 10-³mol
Since from the equation, the molarity is 1:1, it therefore means 4 × 10-³mol is required of the base
Using, Molarity = conc. × volume
Volume = conc./ Molarity
V = 4 × 10-³mol/0.25moldm-³
= 16dm³
From the options above it's obvious there was no conversion from cm³ to dm³ so I can easily pick 16cm³
