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

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.

Calculate the concentration of sodium hydroxide, in g dm⁻³. (Molar mass of sodium hydroxide = 40 g mol⁻¹)
