**Titration of Hydrobromic Acid with Calcium Hydroxide**

**Problem Statement:**
An aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid is standardized by titration with a 0.103 M solution of calcium hydroxide.

**Data Provided:**
- Volume of base (calcium hydroxide) used: 15.1 mL
- Volume of acid (hydrobromic acid) neutralized: 21.5 mL
- Molarity of calcium hydroxide solution: 0.103 M

**Question:**
What is the molarity of the hydrobromic acid solution?

**Answer Entry:**
[ ] M hydrobromic acid

**Instructions:**

Expert Solution
Step 1

Molarity is defined as moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution in liters.

Its unit is mol/L which is represented by the letter M.

To determine the concentration of an analyte by the use quantitative chemical analysis, titration method is used,
