CSEC Chemistry · January 2018 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(v)

Deneil is provided with two solutions, M (aqueous hydrochloric acid, 3.6 g dm⁻³) and N (aqueous sodium hydroxide). She titrates solution M against 25.0 cm³ of solution N to determine the concentration of sodium hydroxide. Figure 1 shows the burette volume readings (initial and final) for three titrations.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction between the hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions.
